Skip Oppenheimer (
Oppenheimer Companies
) and Matt Oppenheimer (
Remitly
) discussed macro fundraising in Idaho. Matt provided some insightful suggestions on how to raise capital, reflected in five points:
- Vision: Create a genuine long term vision but start with maniacal short term focus.
- Capital Selection: Determine the kind of capital you want to raise (VC, debt, bank financing, etc.)
- Recruit a Great Team With Diverse Skills: Have a low ego about skills that are different than your own. It's harder than you think.
- Perseverance is Key: Fundraising takes grit.
- Focus or Fail: You’ve raised capital, now comes the hard part. While you might feel flush with cash, you aren't and focus is the way to make progress on the most important things. We are having a event early summer with amazing speakers.
