Description
The 1Mby1M Methodology is based on case studies. In this course, Sramana Mitra shares the tribal knowledge of tech entrepreneurs by giving students the rare seat at the table with the entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders who provide the most instructive perspectives on how to build a thriving business. Through these conversations, students gain access to case studies exploring the alleys of entrepreneurship. Sramana's synthesis of key learnings and incisive analysis add great depth to each discussion.One particular trend keeps me awake at night. Thousands upon thousands of entrepreneurs have approached us for help with their funding at a stage where their chances of getting funding is ZERO. We can't help them, regardless of how powerful our investor connections are. We can't help a startup get funding before they become fundable. It pains me to see how many entrepreneurs have no idea what makes a startup fundable.So, my humble advice to all entrepreneurs: please learn to assess your own probability of getting funded.As you may have already learned in my courses, the early stage investment ecosystem has fragmented, it's no longer just seed and Series A. The seed part has fragmented to friends and family financing, pre-seed, seed, post-seed, small Series A, and large Series A.In this course, we will do a deep dive into the seed stage.If you want introductions to Angels and VCs, a fundable and validated business is a must.A fundable business with warm introductions is the fastest way to get funded. We can introduce you to angels and VCs, if your idea is fundable and validated. Sadly, less than 1% of businesses are fundable. What that means is more than 99% of the entrepreneurs waste their energy on pitching their unfundable businesses to investors. Hugely unproductive and unhealthy.There is a reason why savvy entrepreneurs have been using the Bootstrap First, Raise Money Later strategy.Generation after generation of entrepreneurs have used bootstrapping to get to a fundable stage, so they can call the shots at the negotiation table with their potential investors.I have nothing against funding. I have scores of friends who are investors and I respect their work.But my heart belongs to entrepreneurs who are capable of doing the heavy lifting of extensive validation. That's where we can add the most value and that's why we are in the trenches with those true entrepreneurs every day.This course is designed to help such entrepreneurs understand the thought process of seed investors.The 1Mby1M courses are all heavily based on interview-based case studies on Innovation, Business Models, Go To Market Strats, Validation Principles, and various other nuances of an entrepreneur's journey. We offer extensive opportunities for entrepreneurs to learn the lessons from the trenches from successful entrepreneurs who have done it before and Investors who support their ambition.
