3.Integrate

Spend enough time thinking whom to put on your company’s board from the investors. It would be better if you host a reception to connect them to other board members and your management team. This will create a good relationship will quicken productive communications between them.

4.Communicate

Board meetings are good for few occasions. Don’t rely on just them. Get the most out of your new investors by setting up regular interactions, be they weekly or monthly breakfasts, parties, beers, or other gatherings.

5.Move Fast

Be the first to announce the news of raising funds. Don’t let it leak out via official documents, which reporters and bloggers regularly mine for stories. Make sure you get the most out of your announcement and consult with public relations specialists if you don’t have any on your team.

6.Reconnect

Fund-raising is long and tedious process which gets you distracted from your goals. Make sure you take the time to sync back up with all your key team members and business partners and start pacing towards business goals.
