Raising Faster = Feedback Faster

When we’re speaking with founding teams pre-raise, there’s always a lot of questions involved with decisions made about the company, and how to best approach their next 12-24 months.

“Should we do a bridge round now or try and raise our full A?”
“What traction do we need to have to qualify for the funds we’re going after?”
“What will VC’s think about our plans of trying to do xyz?”

The answer for 99% of these questions is unknown.

You won’t know until you’re on a Zoom call with the investors you want to speak with, asking them directly.

So why are you not optimizing for getting this feedback as fast as you can?

An idea that our team at Breakout really focuses on solving is “speed to feedback.”

Your current pitch deck, GTM plan, and sales strategy is likely not the final version your team will use. It will go through iterations.

• Maybe after 3 investor calls you’ll make some changes to your deck.

• Maybe after 8-10 investor calls you’ll have a fresh new perspective on how you should GTM.

• Maybe after 16-20 investor calls, your marketing, product dev, and growth strategy is completely dialed in and has investors salivating over your projections.

Now what if we could achieve that outcome in 45-60 days, instead of 6 months?

The 3, 5, 10+ iterations that are necessary to happen for your company to be able to raise your round is inevitable. And every day, week, and month you’re taking to get there, your cost of inaction is killing your runway.

Client A works with us where we help them get 20 high quality investor intros in the first 30 days of our campaigns.

In these meetings, maybe they get told their GTM plan sucks, and that they have do xyz first, and fix 123. They fix this in the next 3-4 weeks, and by day 60 they’re in a great position to raise successfully.

Client B takes 6 months to get 20 investor intros because they “focused on other things” and “didn’t have the bandwidth”.

For an extra 4+ months, they were incurring time and monetary costs on something Client A already solved.

They still have to fix their GTM plan, and do xyz and 123 first, but they wasted time and resources for 4 months because they didn’t understand “speed to feedback.”

Your inaction might be costing you more than you think.

Speed to raise = feedback faster = changes implemented faster = company problems solved faster = more savings

Hope this helps, thanks for reading.
