Startups Should Ask These 8 Questions Before Raising Capital

QuestFusion CEO Patrick Henry

Entrepreneurs should ask these eight questions before raising capital:

  1. How large is the market for my products or services?
  2. What competitive advantage will my product or service have versus alternatives?
  3. How easily can a competitor duplicate what I’m doing?
  4. What barriers to entry can my company build?
  5. How much money do I need to raise to reach the next key milestones and to execute my overall strategy?
  6. Is there a clear path to revenue growth and profitability?
  7. When do I expect to break-even?
  8. What is my exit strategy, and how will investors get paid back?
