As an early-stage entrepreneur, you work crazy long hours, juggling as many job roles as possible without collapsing. You are the CEO, marketing director, manufacturing coordinator, and e-commerce guru, sometimes all on the same day.
So the question we've asked ourselves is this: what's the one thing we can do to stop the overwhelm, meet the business partners and investors we need and give our business instant legitimacy?
You guessed it! Find world-class advisors to help us stop spinning our wheels on things that don't work!
What you’ve heard is true: Adding great advisors to your team can make you 3 times more likely to succeed (Techcrunch study)! In addition, you're likely to raise over 3 times more money with great advisors to introduce you to investors and improve your venture.
But when is the right time to start reaching out to advisors? Do you need to have everything in place along with the data to prove your success? Or can you approach advisors early on when they would be the most helpful?
There’s a lot of thinking out there about the best way to approach advisors, so I don't blame you if you’re confused.
This checklist, and the guide to using it, will explain what you absolutely must have in place before you reach out to advisors and the best way to time your approach.
