At Those Early Stages of Raising Venture Funding

This post also doesn’t include information related to how to go about buying shares in Stark Drones or anything of this matter.

Now that I have gotten that out of the way, I wanted to talk about the venture funding process and pre-IPO or private company funding in general terms. There are many things that people have to adhere to or go about just before even seeking funding.

Some things I have recently done or accomplished include:

Things still needing to be accomplished are:

Right now, I am in the “baby steps” of seeking any sort of decent funding. I was originally going to seek out a valuation that have now increased 12.5x over the past few years. The reason I would want a valuation increase is more technology and progress thrown on to the table. Your valuation can increase without you getting funding rounds if more progress is made. In rare cases, pre-revenue companies can also have increasing valuation on the basis of technology, IP, or some form of demonstrable progress. This is what I was originally seeking, on the basis of engaging in highly theoretical research.

That being said, I already know alot about the funding process and the venture capital world. This is primarily for things outside of Stark Drones. The whole way startups work, are getting funded, corporate structures, and share agreements are an industry in of itself. Things like vesting schedules, advisory roles, share agreements, and sweat equity likely crossed paths with you one way or the other. This is especially true, if you work on that niche industry.

I have been doing Stark Drones for years, and recently started QuantPortal. I also work on numerous of other things. The startup world is both exciting, rewarding and challenging.

Outside of rules and regulations, there are also end users and consumers you need to please. This primarily depends on: “What problem are you solving?”, market segment, and your business plan. That being said, I still consider myself a life long learner. My main driver doesn’t feel like big checks, funding or money at all. This isn’t what keeps me going. I’m not like that. I think impact is really where value comes into play.
