Funding

     Investors understand that you'll need money to get your product idea off the drawing board. Investors want to know what you're going to do with the money once they give it to you. They'll want to make sure you're clear about how to allocate it properly to develop the business and that you won't be using it to take a vacation. You'll need to show how much you require, what you're going to use it for, how long the money will last, and how much revenue you'll generate.

     How much money will you need? You'll need to realistically estimate what you'll need to grow your invention. Make a list of everything you'll need and then allocate a dollar amount for each item. Remember that some expenses are one-time events (e.g., marketing reports, equipment to build a prototype, filing for a patent) and others are recurring (e.g., office rent, utilities, salary). Calculate the total expenses needed for the first and second years.

Matt,

I want to thank you so much for taking the time to make sure I understood why following certain steps it is so important in being successful, and saving a lot of money. You already saved me 10 times the money I would have spent foolishly.

But more important I now understand why it would have been foolish. I have spoke to many people who bring products to market and all they wanted me to do is spend, spend, spend, it was like talking to salesmen all the time. With you it was like finding a friend who knew just what to do. Thank you for your help in making this complicated process manageable. I feel I can now make educated choices.

Your new friend,
Vincent Sellecchia
