Why BizClarity? Why this blog? What drives me to do this? Why should you join me?
A single idea: to help deserving, venture-ready entrepreneurs get the venture funding they deserve.
It upsets me every time I hear that another venture company has folded because it couldn’t get funded. Often these failed companies have ground-breaking technologies, a capable team, and a strong economic model–all the things that venture investors are looking for.
There can be multiple reasons a deserving company doesn’t get funded. Some can’t be avoided. But one–the inability to communicate convincingly why the venture will succeed–is inexcusable.
Many entrepreneurs don’t recognize they’re in trouble before it’s too late. They underestimate the drag that poor communication can put on their fund raising efforts. Ask any advisers or investors in the venture community and they’ll tell you stories about companies that failed to get funding primarily because they couldn’t get their story across.
When poor communication is the problem, I can do something about it directly. That’s what BizClarity Consulting is about.
I also work to teach other coaches and advisers the BizClarity Method. My books and articles and this blog are a part of that effort.
Sometimes the problem lies with the system for matching companies to investors. I can’t change the whole industry, but I do go to a lot of venture fairs. Venture fairs are a necessary part of the venture process because they are a rare time when investors and new companies can meet face-to-face. But they could be a lot better than they are now. Part of the mission of this blog is to give voice to the movement for improving venture fairs–particularly to give entrepreneurs a voice.
BizClarity exists to help, directly and indirectly, venture-ready entrepreneurs get funded. It’s a big job. Join us.
