Do you all use X/Twitter to find other founders or investors? Saw this group on X just now. There are, as you know, a buhjillion of these. Wondering about X as a platform for you to advance your company.

I've been tweeting a lot this morning about startups and entrepreneurs, so of course an ad pops up on X asking me to follow @EntreLeadership. (There's a 50/50 chance you'll click on that link to the left... 75/25+ since reading what I just wrote.) Sure enough, he's using the time-tested Tony Robbins-style of "get multiple thousands in value for pennies on the dollar." Have you tried this? Has it worked? 👇 👇 👇 COMMENT BELOW if you have a story or opinion...

Hi guys. I had coffee yesterday with a deal partner, who helped me refine my accelerator idea and also suggested there might be capital available for founders in several adjacent industries, so I thought I'd outline all the sectors I'm looking to support: - Aviation - Aerospace/U.S. defense-military - Agritech/agribusiness - Aquaculture - Automotive - Energy - Healthcare/medtech - Oil/gas Further, if you are a mentor in one of those areas -- with a speciality in product validation (a customer writing a check) -- then I want to hear from you!

Hello everyone. Help, support and suggestions needed. What do you suggest is the best and worst ways to raise the funds for a business startup? Hello my name is Fraser Donovan-Wood. I am a Substance Misuse Professional and a Self Development/Leadership Coach. I am also a licensed Expert Coach. I am also a Husband, Father, Step Father and Grandfather. I have previously run a Personal Training and Group Fitness Business, up until COVID. I then changed my goals and plans as I was unsure of what will happen after the Lockdown restrictions were lifted. My goals and plans are to use my previous and current skills set and build an online coaching business. The business will consist of the option to choose one to one, group sessions, a 12 week Self Development program called "Elevate Your Best Self " including a spiritual meditation called "Align With Your Best Self " Expert Coaching. The niche markets are those that are struggling with Substance misuse/addiction (addiction is not always to a substance) and those persons that feel they are stuck in a rut that they are unable to get out of ( be that a leader/manager that wants to progress in their career or start their own business, the person that wants to progress in their careers/life, the university graduate that is not sure what they want to do with their new qualifications and have their whole lives ahead of them with no or little plans to move on to with their career/life). I already have a domain name and email address. The finance raised would go towards a laptop, phone, complete the website/platform design and launch, marketing/promotions. Thank you Fraser Donovan-Wood I’m raising £10,600 until 24/10/2024 for Business Start up. Can you help? https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/98fWzrXtc5

If you don't have a subscription to an AI premium service, get one. I use both GPT-4o and Gemini Advanced. Have heard good things about Claude, which is used by one of my favorite new customer engagement tools -- Quin, currently in beta. When you ask the right questions, AI becomes the ultimate no-drama helper who never wants a day off and doesn't mind if I miss National Administrative Assistant's Day. But just like computers have always been as smart as the data we put in them, so AI is as smart as its trained and as it's asked. You have to become a "Master Question-Asker" to get the most out of any AI. The question in my screenshot below isn't even that smart. But it IS specific. That's an important aspect. Be ultra-specific. You can do a lot of prospecting for investors this way, and I've even pushed back and asked again for contact information, and it's provided it. Investors hate it when you send them something that doesn't fit their "thesis" (rationale or criteria for investing). The chart shown was sent out on Airchat by @Larry Velez. FYI. EDIT: my wife just sent me this. Check it out
