Key Takeaways

Keep your investors engaged by consistently sharing valuable content like market updates and deal insights.

Building a robust CRM by consistently adding contacts through networking events, Zoom meetings, and meetups is critical.

The best time to raise capital is when no active deals are available, allowing for relationship-building without pressure.

Grow your network by making it a goal to meet at least five new people every week through events, meetups, or masterminds.

Don’t give up after just a few attempts. Keep following up 7 to 10 times, and even if you don’t get a response, stay consistent. Make sure you stand out and stay top of mind.
