1 - Always use a CRM when reaching out to investors. (In my case, this is so important that we created our own).

2 - Create a fund raising plan with a solid timeline and stick to it.

3 - Create a system that is repeatable and sustainable when reaching out to investors.

4 - Always re-organize your database and reach out to your investors on a regular basis.

5 - Learn to speak investor's lingo by constantly researching VC & Private Equity trends.

6 - In whatever business you run, have an investment event strategy like going to Cryptovsummit or Metavsummit to meet investors in your niche. (Find them here www.doublemorgan.com)

7 - Utilize LinkedIn well by consistently connecting with potential investors. And make sure to have a clear idle investor profile before doing so. Don't do random reach outs.

8 - Utilize LinkedIn even better by creating content about why investors should partner with you and target those idle investors.

9 - Don't be afraid of rejection and ask for what you want from investors.

10 - Learn to say no to distractions.

11 - Always ask your network if they can refer you to investors. You will be surprised on how this can compound into a meaningful strategy.

They might be simple rules but we all sometimes forget to do them.
