Hi guys! As I am building my track record to strengthen my ability to fundraise I need advice on offering advisory and access in exchange for equity in the business.... I know a few startups that I could approach but that doesn't mean they would be suitable for the fund as I didn't access their financials etc. How should I move forward to build the track record given the limited time I have to build it before the fundraising?
Just start helping amazing companies without any expectations of equity. Help them get to new rounds of financing. Then, you will build network effects, and maybe some of the founders will introduce you to other founders or offer you the opportunity to invest in their next round.
