I've raised a $2M Seed and $6M Series A, used Google Sheets for prospect tracking both times. The process was pretty simple: we'd add investors to the list, stack rank them in order of preference, contact them, and then use color coding and a status column to keep track of where they are in the process (BLUE="need intro", YELLOW=contacted, RED=declined, GREEN="term sheet", etc.)
- berlinftw 9y agoHey I have a question for you. I would like help writing an extensive business plan, since VC's have asked for one. I've found a qualified consultant who already did work for me and would be willing to do this on a deferred basis. Can I include this expense in your opinion? It's under 6k usd but would have to be paid out of the budget. The person said that someone they asked said VC's don't like to pay for any past expenses. thanks for an opinion.
- anotherfounder 9y agoThanks for the response, we were leaning towards doing something similar. Did you just use LinkedIn & AngelList manually to find investors and connections in your network? Or was there another tool that helps with that as well? On a separate note, would you have that template for the Google Sheet available by any chance?
