Surprising views of startups on fundraising

1 pointsby srivastalmost 12 years ago
We asked ~60 startups their fundraising experience and got some surprising results.<p>1. 40% startups raised money from angels, 30% from friends&#x2F;family, 15% from VCs, 10% from accelerators and 5% still deciding. This is against popular notion that friends&#x2F;family contribute more than angels.<p>2. 50% startups pitched to &lt;5 angels&#x2F;VCs, 30% pitched to 6-10 angels&#x2F;VCs and 20% pitched to &gt;10 angels&#x2F;VCs. This too is against popular notion that one needs to pitch to many angels&#x2F;VCs.<p>Is this variation because we have emerging market startups too in the respondents?<p>You could also please share your fundraising experiences at: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;18aFwFC
