Money is undoubtedly the air of every startup. The world of startups has a lot to do with it. There is no single right or wrong answer, no rules as to who will succeed or fail, but ultimately people eventually look out for those who get to succeed and maintain their earnings at the end of the day.
For subscribers who pave their businesses with the equivalent of 3-4 years of personal expenses saved or with an income stream that meets their financial needs, not only allow for the time and freedom required to start and operate their businesses, but also lays a solid foundation for them.
The need to get money quickly from angel investors can be very tempting, and of course, finding an investor is not impossible, but without generating strong revenue streams, getting the needed raise would most times become difficult.
For most startups in their early stages, the inability to make good profits leads to financing as the most expensive asset they get to purchase. For obvious reasons, profitability and attractiveness have a huge impact on the valuation at which startups can raise money.
Investors in early stage companies don’t just assess business acumen; They also assess personal characteristics as well. They want to know if they can trust these companies with a significant degree of risk involved.
A startup that actually makes money falls into a completely different league than one that lacks revenue and it completely changes the relationships they get to have with investors.
While money in a startup is just as important as the food we have to eat every day, it boils down to not only cash, talent or leadership but also the vision of these companies. Lots of startups focus on raising prices before raising money.
This means that they sell and get as much practice as possible, increase the sales of their customers on a value-added basis, benefit greatly from content marketing and pull in more customers to their doors which gives them a greater sense of independence.
Informed investors would like to see startups demonstrate confidence in cash. They prefer entrepreneurs who have more than “just” equal work in the game. So, if these companies are really profitable, it proves that they already have a solid model and any investor who jumps in later will admit that they are joining an already successful organization, and not trying to build one from the ground.
Furthermore, having guaranteed revenue provides startups with something they can always come back to if their plans to expand or delivery of new products go south. Therefore, providing them with an alternate path to stabilize again, before proceeding to request; or raise funds through investors.
