Running a small company or need cash for your side hustle? Here's the ultimate capital raising guide [Thread]
Ways to raise capital:

1. Bootstrapping
2. Bank Debt
3. Working Capital/ Revolving Facilities
4. Angle Investors
5. Venture Capital
6. Private Equity
7. Crowdfunding
8. Government Agencies
9. Get a Business Partner
10. Funding competitions
1. Bootstrapping

The cheapest way of funding. Build the company with savings & family contributions. Privilege is a massive factor in getting off the ground.

Jeff Bezos' parents ploughed $245k into his e-commerce startup. Bill Gates' parents funded his founding company.

You're about to invest in the next biggest company to list on the stock exchange. You dream of a luxury island & a private jet - but you end up eating canned food instead.

Here's a guide to the insider secrets of IPOs [Thread]
Hold on, what is an IPO? Indian Police Officer?

No, it's an Initial Public Offering

It's when a private company issues stock to the public to raise capital. Facebook, Airbnb & Apple are IPO companies

It's not just US companies. I worked on IPOs in London, Johannesburg & Lagos
"The Roadshow/ Marketing"

The IPO process can be long!

The company hires a few investment banks to go out & sell the story to investors. Think of it as a series of dates. Do you tell her you leave towels on the floor on the first date? No.

Investment banks sell the highlights

Taking time out from a challenging situation to rethink, rebalance & try a different approach takes courage.

It's not a failure.
"I must not give up!" gets confused with "let me take a step back"

You can work yourself to death using a butter knife to turn a screw... or you can take 5 minutes to get a screwdriver.

Hard work is meaningless without the right tools.
Resilience is not giving up on constantly improving. Ego is refusing to accept something just doesn't fit.

We're guilty of ego a lot of the time.

People with the biggest potential to change your life aren't the guys in fancy suits holding self important titles.

It's the person at the front desk, the barista, the person next to you on a plane, someone you meet at a party.

Everyone has something important to offer.
In a boardroom always look for the guy with the ugliest oversized jersey, dad sneakers & baggy jeans to know who owns the company.

The guys in sharp bespoke cotton suits & Ferragamo ties probably work for him as advisors.
I remember sitting next to an old dude in the steam room at the gym, talking shit.

Him: So what do you do
Me: I'm an investment banker in M&A

"Do you think you can get a buyer for my clothing company?"

The bank made ALOT of money from that 10 minute sweaty convo.
