Raise Enough Cash To Match The Milestones

As a company on a high growth trajectory, the startup may need to raise more capitals to fuel the growth plans. Before raising fund, it is important to know the next milestone to be achieved. This will help to de-risk the business and raise large amount of fund each and every time. One of the most common mistakes that entrepreneurs make is to focus too much on avoiding dilution by raising less money. Also, their focus deviates from providing enough cushion for the unexpected. And if the entrepreneur is unable to raise enough cash, it is necessary for him to match the milestone to the available cash to avoid uncertainty. With a limited cash in hand, if the milestone seems to be unreachable, then the entrepreneur should opt for a different milestone that he can achieve before he runs out of cash. Sometimes, a solid business has trouble finding the right mix of financing or over-burdened with debt, but focusing on underlying customer needs and the fundamental economies of the business will help them easily gain access to the capital from the investors.
