If your capital strategy is:
👉 “Ask friends and family if they’re interested…”
👉 “Wait until I have a deal to start raising…”
👉 “Hope someone wires after I send a PDF…”
You don’t have a strategy.
You have a prayer.
Here’s what real capital closers do:
✅ Build a Capital Identity — who they raise from, why they’re trusted
✅ Document their journey (publicly) before they ask for a dime
✅ Pre-frame deals with confidence, not desperation
✅ Track investor convos like deal leads — CRM > memory
✅ Follow up even when there’s no deal to offer (that’s leadership)
✅ Have 3-4 pitch structures depending on the investor’s appetite
🧠 Capital is not closed with pressure. It’s closed with certainty.
If you want more than one-time wires, build a capital system.
