Executives. Investors. How to Estimate Startup Costs. One of the reasons having a business plan is a good first step for starting a business is to answer the fundamental, and critical question of how much money it will take to get the venture started. I've had two good friends who, with different businesses in different years, started strong but failed because they ran out of resources. In the first case, additional funding might have been available had my friend planned better and applied for a larger loan.

But when things went bad, his credit suffered and he wasn't able to ask the bank for more money. In the case of my second friend, she probably would have planned to use fewer resources and ramped up more successfully if she had a more detailed estimate of her startup costs. The point is, having an educated idea about startup costs can benefit your business more than not having a plan at all, and facing more unforeseen surprises.

Over the next couple weeks I’ll have multiple posts on this topic since it’s a popular one amongst Entrepreneurs. I’m not quite sure where to start with “Pitching to Angel Investors” so I’ll just dive in… To be blunt, a large percentage of people I speak with have ZERO chance of raising money from investors.

There are dozens if not hundreds of reasons why this is true but one big reason is the lack of any possible and substantial return of capital for the investor (99% of Angel Investors want to make money, they are not Philanthropists in this aspect of their lives). Raising money from Angel Investors is hard and can take a long time. Ask yourself: Why are you different? Remember: Ideas are common, great execution is rare. Angel Investors know the timeframe for seeing a return on their investment might be 3-8 years (depending on how the deal is structured and whether future investment rounds provide some cash outs or an exit event occurs).

Proving The Value Of Crowdfunding, Soldsie Raises $425K And Hires One Of 72 Investors Via FundersClub. Online venture capital firm FundersClub is pioneering equity crowdfunding and today demonstrated the value of bringing on dozens of investors rather than a handful. E-commerce startup Soldsie just raised $425,000 from 72 investors through FundersClub, and ended up hiring one. New Chief Scientist Yun-Fang Juan, a founding engineer of Facebook’s ads team, discovered Soldsie thanks to FundersClub. The JOBS Act that eases restrictions on equity crowdfunding hasn’t been finalized yet, but enough of it is in place to legalize FundersClub. The Y Combinator graduate launched in July to pick promising startups and helps them raise venture capital from the crowd through its online platform. Accredited investors (people who earn $200,000 a year or have a net worth over $1 million) can browse startups on FundersClub, research their businesses, and then invest as little as $1,000 in exchange for equity in the startup.
