You can raise money easily…

I opened the email and my heart rate skyrocketed. The message read:
“Hey Seth and Michael – I’m in for $200,000. I will sign and wire by Friday. Excited to be on board.” [investor name redacted]

Friday came… and Friday went. But no money showed up in our account…

Days later, the investor who sent the email told us he had to withdraw.

I was stunned. Seth was not…

See, I had assumed that when investors commit in writing, it means you will receive money. Not so. Thus began my education about how fundraising really works, and when I learned for the first time (of many) that “It’s not over until the money’s in the bank…”

My name is Michael Simpson. I’m a co-founder of DJZ and the co-author of The Secret of Raising Money, which I wrote with Seth Goldstein…

Seth has raised $100m over the last twenty years, has sold two companies, co-founded Turntable.fm and was Fred Wilson’s first EIR. So I was lucky to learn fundraising at the heels of the world’s best.
