How to Raise Capital for Your Startup Business
Coming up with an idea for a business is something that many entrepreneurs can relate to.
However, what about coming up with an idea for a business and then going out and meeting with prospective investors in order to secure capital to fund the development and growth of your business.
Joining me on today’s show is Ludwina Dautovic.
Ludwina has been a successful entrepreneur for over two decades and is the Founder and CEO of the RoomXchange – a service which connects busy professionals, young families and empty nesters with a spare room in their home with travellers and guests providing an agreed amount of help around the home in exchange for food and accommodation.
In fact, the Room Xchange is Ludwina’s fifth technology start up company, which she has invested in and so far this startup is fully self-funded.
Ludwina is currently immersed in her first capital raise and is leading the company towards a global market and on today’s show is going to share:
- Be kind to people. Leave a trail of kindness behind you;
- Surround yourself with the best team of advisors you can get and listen to their advice;
- Be a leader who inspires those you are leading.
