Let's say it how it is: Raising money for a startup is hard, but not impossible.

Now, are startup accelerators the way to go? Venture Capital? Could be.
In this video, we tell you a little bit about our story of starting and growing Slidebean.

was it wiser to just raise funds using corporate bonds or seeding fund rounds ?
Literally the most honest explanation ever. Take this advice seriously!
Don't waste your time with companies and courses that waste your time and money. Just listen to this man here.
I’m a one person team so far. A couple of friends helping (as much as they can) and this video provided some realism to me. I did meet with an angel, first investor I have ever met, and she absolutely loved my idea, and said I was to early, but on the right track. Glad to have some next steps due to your videos, and excited to see where this goes
Shaan Rashid best of lunch with your venture! Glad we provided some perspective.
Have you gotten a round yet?
Same here
😭😭😭😭If so Real Real Real problem?Where to raise money ????,if someone really need help but may feel guilty to ask money as self respect will stop .....or sometimes people also doubt cause is real or not ...........pain is real and if people want authentication I will also provide it by government.of Bihar India.....aap sab se guzarish vinti help me😭😭😭😭😭 🫸🫷
The only person CZcams who gets straight to the point and I love it!!!
Man I remember when I started out in late 2018 and looking back on this since as a source of knowledge.
I'm happy you guys are still going and thankful this content is evergreen for audiences online globally.
Took notes and applied them, cheers
How did the business go, would love to hear!?
I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying it's ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $200k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point
Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in-depth market knowledge.
@@ThomasWilliam-sw8ms It all depends on how long you're willing to hold for, stocks might likely tank further, but making serious gains in this downtrend wouldn't be a problem if you're a pro.
@@MaryPatricia-wr3wj The reason I decided to work closely with a brokerage adviser ever since the market got really tensed and the pressure became so much(I should be retiring in 17months) so I've had a brokerage adviser guide me through the chaos, its been 9months and counting and I've made approx. 650K net from all of my holdings.
@@ThomasWilliam-sw8ms Please, how do I connect with your financial planner?
@@MaryPatricia-wr3wj lookup KRISTIN GAIL CUNNINGHAM , this is her name online, she's the real investment prodigy since the crash and has helped me recover my loses
Great video, actually the difference between Convertible Notes, Safes and equity rounds will be excellent. at the begining its difficult to pay for a good legal advice
Thanks for watching, we are already working on the new video.
Here it is the video we promised: czcams.com/video/njx09wXb9o0/video.html
“Most ideas are worthless without execution.” Love it
Thanks for watching!

Not most . All

Excellent video. Hit all the high points that founders need to know. I am going to use it in an entrepreneurship class I teach.
Thanks Bret! Let me know if I can be helpful in any other way.
@@cayahere hi Caya, I have been a fan of you for a long time, you have added a lot of values to me. Thank you.
I am currently building a startup. it is a social networking app for the gaming community. It's called gamerup. Android version is already in the app store iOS version is coming soon.
but currently I am not in need to raise money. should I wait to raise money until I needed it?. or should start now contacting investors?.
Thank you
Cheers for the video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried - Chireetler Become Athletes Rule (probably on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive product for understanding how to get bank funding for your business minus the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my buddy after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.
You look like James Hetfield
I am thinking about a new type of restaurants : eating-spots,
in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate,
this is opposed to current restaurants
thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants,
along with that, there is an app,
people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days,
menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app,
This is one of my favorite videos so far. I've had trouble finding truly insightful materials that explain how fundraising really works.
I find so many companies with this idealistic (and mistaken) notion that they will get their 'ideas' funded, when in reality, most investors come when the business already has proof of traction. We didn't want to burst anybody's bubble, but rather help you to the point where you need to get!
😀
And that puts me in the unfortunate paradox that if I had the money to get traction I would not need investors.
Proof of traction is a lie which really means race/gender/migration-based funding, but they float the traction lie because it's illegal to say they won't fund whites.
@@brianyoung8999 Don't believe his lies. This is Taqiya, taught by his Islamic cult. He's deceiving you deliberately. Islam has no place in America.
This is some incredibly impressive content. Your precision as an entrepreneur and leader really comes out in your videos. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you Anish, we really appreciate it!
Thanks for this awesome comment, Anish
#1 Rule: Have some tractions before asking the seed fund.
LucKie word
What if you need seed fund to get traction, so you can get investor fund?
@@billythekid9821 My first thought
@Gulaid M No risk no reward, right!
@@billythekid9821 from the video, i think it's bootstrap?
Men, your videos are like gold, I feel how my learning curve goes up with each one of them .. Huge contribution to the startup ecosystem.
The content you provide is a huge part of why your company is a success. Content is king.
Thanks Chris!
Caya, well done! Your audio to visuals ratio is great (one doesn't compete for attention from the other). You teach the way I learn. There's interest on my end on how to differentiate between convertible notes and equity rounds. Your tip from the investors perspective on signing multiple NDA's being a liability was insightful to me. Appreciate your explanation of a fairly modern investment concept!
I have taken lots of notes from your video. This is the first time I've posts comment on YT. Fantastic content. I've already made the error of sending a slide deck as an attachment. I'll look into how to track and remove access to my slide deck.
My main take aways were:
*Insight into the slide deck content (mine is too complicated and graphically rich)
*The importance of the story of the company (mine is too detailed regarding the problem I'm solving and how I'm seeking to solve.
* Number of investment required pitches to achieve funding.
* Sharing deck as a link to track views and remove access.
Great work 👌
Thank you
We are so glad to read this Steven!
Invest in something that will benefit both your business and your customers. Many spend hundreds of dollars for the satisfaction of a fully personalized massage, but you can give your customers the convenient relief they seek for a small fraction of cost.

I believe that Bitcoin holds value as a form of 'good money' that is superior to any previously discovered or developed form of money.
The long term goal about trading here is majorly process oriented goal, protecting the trading capital, starting off with free cash and putting yourself in the right mindset to trade to the best of your ability as a business owner. Then for short term goals, monetary goal would only pressure you into trading too often or recklessly. . The process of ensuring huge wins/profit and experience got me the confidence of a true risk monitor/enterpreneur.
I make more steady income monthly about $20,000 using risk management strategies from Mr Benjamin with 25% commission on every win, though crypto trading is relatively new, cryptos can lead to higher returns compared to other assets, such as stocks. Cryptocurrencies
@@jefffluxo4601 Depends on the type of profit your looking for. There are tons of websites where one can actually invest in and get hes or her daily profit on monthly weekly and even daily basis. Know about quiet a few also but Benjamin's asset management is where I am currently trading at the moment.
@@damianthomas8779 i started following up on into you tube financial channels and Ive taken a deep dive into investing particularly foreign exchange rates as it interests me. tried several means trying to figure out the best approach to build my portfolio until coming across Benjamin's firm in an investment webinar. His financial team has got more progress with financial management and its a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from and tends up haunting them later on

@@melindasammis9013 its my 6th month trading directly under his portfolio with full access to my account platform and trading signals. i think his idea of leadeship is great. but this works more in creative fields. sometimes it doesnt work in other fields though but everyone knows well about patnership and enterpreneurship.
@@melindasammis9013 sounds like miracle to me but as soon as you stop believing your work/industry is non creative, you stop looking for oppurtunity to make it so. build passion for work, write down your achievements and your duties, join groups or frequent meetings with successful investors
I watch all your videos multiple times. But this video speaks to me the most.
Fantastic. Having been on the journey and trial-and-errored my way through every one of your insights. Very generous and useful video. In particular I think the stress on the utility of embracing your failure and the need for persistence is something that should resonate with anyone in the grind.
We loved this. We couldn't agree more with you Irfan! 👌🏻
Thank you so much. I can tell that the advice you give was backed by actual pain. Im grateful for it.
So clear and good. Have just found you and am binge watching to get myself up to speed. Thank you for the pdfs and links.
First time seeing one of your videos and I loved it. Very simple and straight forward. I actually sent this video to a few of my clients and they felt the same.
Great- really appreciate the share.
Great video Caya, we worked with Gilbert Corrales on Leaf who I believe has helped with Slide Bean. You are absolutely on the money and echo what a lot of the guests on our podcast say. Not to mention you have a great looking product.
Great video Caya! Very insightful, short and sweet which makes all the difference.... We will be looking forward to checking your other videos in regards to the difference between convertible notes, safes & equity rounds...

The grind always pays off. Maybe not immediately, but it eventually does for the ones who don't give up 🔥
Taking the right steps as a beginner in trading requires lots of preparation, developing the skills and using proper risk management which is a psychological torture between fear and greed. My advise is don't lose your hard earned money when there're other ways to simply the process with the help of an experienced financial consultant.
This is just the simple truth not everyone understands the commitment involved while trading and not everyone is ready to lose their money.
Well said, trading successfully is my goal and I believe anyone trading want to achieve consistent profits.
It's better to entrust the creation of your trading portfolio to professionals that's to follow a large whale like a small fish
Its achievable with the right guide, it can either take up one's lifetime to master or one big push of luck at an extremely opportune occasion.
How is it going for you? I'll admit that I need help, I can't be on the screen all day.
This is probably the most informative video on the net on this subject and definitely from a pragmatic viewpoint that they never teach in business school. Please, do a video on the next topic suggestions as I stayed tuned and eagerly posted towards it.
We definitely want to help the startup community out there with real and useful content! Thanks for the support!
Love when we see guys like us talking to your face... no bull!... congrats. Well see to support slidebean
Thanks, guys, really appreciate it!
This is pure gold! Thank you Slidebean guys for this and as Caya says at the end of the video, would be very very appreciated if you guys could create a video explaining the differences between Saves, convertible notes and equity rounds. Again, thank you so much! You rock!
Cameras rolling :)
@@cayahere Thank you so much for this amazing work. Respect!
It's a blessing fore to find this channel. See how you are explaining and making all the concepts easy and simple to understand
Seth Samuel Thanks so much for watching!
Great vídeo. In Costa Rica is really hard to Find an inversor and there are a lot "accelerators" but providing little help and a minimum value for startups. this vídeo is inspiring.
Glad it was useful for you, Johann. Indeed, many accelerators don't add too much value.
You should look into this: help.founderhub.io/fundraising/startup-accelerators-currently-accepting-applications
Thanks for the video :) this was very inspiring. I am glad to hear that despite all problems and obstacles you and your team-mates were able to make new success.
Thank you so much!
Part of good biz startup plan IS having clients. Must
Great video! Good to hear from honest information in the world of startups. I would definitely love to hear more from you.
Thanks, Christine, we really appreciate this. We have more videos like this one coming out!
Thanks for this very clear and easy to understand video about seed funding :-)
Thank you for your comment! Glad it was useful!
l am one of the Victims. At first, the software seemed to be really professional and authentic I found many favorable reviews about its performance and delivered results. So, I decided to invest in it and try to achieve success in the online trading sphere. Soon, I realized that the software was swallowing all my investments. Brokers are nothing more than a dangerous and fraudulent platform. I invested over $ 140,000 and couldn't withdraw my money, months passed and still nothing So, I reached out to smith Patrick to help me recover my funds, I have been able to recover $ 100,000 and the remaining $ 40,000 is in progress. I really can't tell how happy I am. Contact him via email👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

What a great story! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm really looking forward to watching more in the series.
We will be sharing more from our experiences David!

I really like that 15 second intro, so strong! And to me I'd really like to get a 1 hour version of your theme song lol it's so catchy!
Caya bro, te admiro un vergo! que excelente lo que has hecho y la forma en que explicas las cosas, broo excelente, se muestra que has pasado las cosas y que no sos fake, te felicito un monton SEGUI ASI! Grande Lider
Brilliant video, thank you. Invaluable information for my university project
Thank you for the amazing video. I just found what I was really looking for.
Game O2 amazing! Thanks for watching!
Startup Chile! I did a consulting project for a company called Cognitiva AI when I was in graduate school as an MS Information Systems students. They got their start via Startup Chile. Here I am 4 years later watching a video, trying to learn how to secure funding for my own startup in the works. How ironic.
Thanks for this! Really grounded things in reality. A quote I picked up this week was the best time to start a company is when you can no longer tolerate NOT starting it. I’ve reached that point and the business idea has matured over the years. Only problem is having the technical assistance for website / platform creation, money, etc. seed funding sounds like a great way to do that!
It's been 8 months sincce you posted this; how did you get on? Did you start your entrepreneurial journey?
@@aokcreative unfortunately not - the business I would like to start is one that will require a CTO, 1-2 PR consultants, and probably a marketing/branding leader to do immediate heavy lifting. Adding little bit by little bit to the business plan to get as much done before starting a seed fund. Still learning and prepping to be a business owner and leader. Being a manager at a software / ai company and 2 kiddos under 2 limits the time I can allocate. Any tips are welcome!
@@DillonCSK Well, if it’s any consolation, every business needs all those eventually. Maybe a CFO instead of a CTO, but still… My advice is always to start with deep research into your market. Find out what they struggle with, what they really need and where to find them. Don’t assume you know. Now is a perfect time to do that. You can chip away at it. It’s the often overlooked part of a ‘great’ business plan. May the wind be at your back. Reach out if you need any help.
Convertible Notes, Safes and equity rounds will be excellent.
So incredible. You are one of the best on CZcams
Very informative and useful and yes keen to hear on equity, convertibles and Safes

Please explain and explore more on how founders can negotiate their terms at the initial stage!!
Thank you Akash! We really appreciate it!
You don't need to negotiate you're a diverse migrant they will give you money that should go to a skilled business leader like me with decades of experience but it will go to you instead because you're not white and not a US citizen
