By Leave a Comment

fundrasing for startups

First time start-up fundraisers make their share of mistakes and yes, it is not just you but many of them who are giants today have had made many mistakes during their first times. But when you have ample of opportunities to learn and not to make any mistakes even as a first timer then why loose opportunities at all? Learn from their hard earned lessons and spare yourself from making ‘the fundraising mistakes‘. Here are 5 tips just for you:

1) Alex Mittal gives some powerful insights on fund raising why’s and how’s-

In one of his recent blog posts, Alex discusses the how about’s of fundraising for the first time start-ups.  The first and foremost thing he advises is “Before fundraising, consider not fundraising”. The pressure of making profits and delivering results quick enough to return $10 to the investor for $1 proposition is not good in the beginning. Considering the fact that starting a business or a venture these days is cost effective, Alex makes sense in raising initial amount from family, friends and friends of friends. Another way of getting the funds is from university entrepreneurial grants programs. The thing is raise as little money as possible at first and stay away from the so called Angel Investors and VC’s so that you build your business model according to your views and study rather than they advising you on what is to be done and what not.

2) Michael Skok says “Raising money is like sex”-

Giving some powerful tips on raising funds for start-ups, Michael says- either do not raise money till you have resources to hold it or raise money when you are brand new which at that point is attractive for Venture Capitalists. It is important to solve a problem or meet a need so validation before raising seed fund is absolute necessary.

3) Rick Perreault gives handy tips for success on Angle List-

Pitch video, your road to success- As the whole web is talking about the visual presence, it is a good idea to make a video of yourself pitching and upload it on Youtube. A pitch video could come in handy for your meetings with investors. Create your profile on sites like AngleList and upload your video so you instantly grab your potential Angle investors. Ask for endorsements, comments and profile shares from influencing personalities you know. As you are likely to get dozens of calls form investors on Angle List, it essential to maintain a spreadsheet with contact details, link to the investors Angle List profile, even the rating to the investors to make a good match as a investor for your business.

4) Charles Moldow talks on great pitches to VC’s-

The winning pitch will have precise and to the point concept of company. Anybody who succeed to tell what their company is about in one sentence will surely get what they deserve. Any VC will look for clear answers on what their company is about, why is it important and what they look to solve. Mere presenting an idea is not enough but selling it to the investor is what makes the difference.

5) As seen in the source, the emphasis is on closing date-

Closing date is important in businesses where the amount is huge and the interest even per week is substantial. There might be cases where the investor might delay in releasing funds. The closing date is important but it is equally important to keep the closing date clause flexible enough in the legal documentation to stretch for few weeks even after the closing date.

Fundraising for start-ups looks so much essential but the reality is it all depends upon your business requirements. Before moving on to raise funds make sure if you actually need it or even if you need how much? It is always good to start off with what you have and then show the real potential to attract VCs.

The Case of Domain Ownership: Most Important Aspect in Website Reseller Programs

By 2 Comments

Website Reseller Program

Domain ownership is a simple case of LIABILITY. Being in website reseller programs, you must be aware what all you are liable for and for what you are not. Usually most of the hosting providers, make these points sufficiently understandable and loud before entering into the reseller program. Remember that you are a mere reseller, who is a connecting link between the customer and the service provider; you are nor the service provider! It is always on the part of the hosting provider to deal with all the aspects of customer handling – Ensuring Uptime, Availability and addressing to Support and Legal Queries.

Here are few points that, being the website reseller, you never consider being liable of. Check them out while choosing a good reseller partner.

Uptime:

Website uptime is dependent on many criteria; most of them are technical dependencies. The reliability and stability of the system is defined by the uptime of the service. Uptime is typically a factor ensured only by the hosting provider. Hence, out of the many options, you must do a thorough research on the service provider that will ensure the highest uptime.

Availability:

Availability again is a system design approach that ensures that a particular system or service is available for use for its users. In the context of hosting service providing, there are standards of defining Availability. These are usually represented by nines, such as 90%, 95%, 99%, 99.99% up to 99.99999%. The seven nine standard or 99.99999% availability is the highest in the industry so far. You can become reseller of such an operator, provided your customers are willing to pay for the service.

Support Queries:

Support queries handling is the sole liability of the service provider. Being the sole owner of the entire system setup, it is the hosting provider, who can tell what is wrong when any such incident occurs. Usually good hosting prodders do have their own support team or have outsourced the service to some efficient process center. Check this out as well.

Legal Queries (Complaints Handling):

In spite of all the setups and assurance for delivering the best service, at times, disagreements happen and your customers may opt out from the deal. In such a case, it again falls on the lap of the service provider to the complaint handling and legal formalities part. It should be clearly mentioned in the contracts about the same and partner with a service provider that offers such a service of taking the legal liabilities.

Responsibilities:

If you do the sum, all the liabilities taken together convert into a big RESPONSIBILITY.

The hosting provider must be ready to at least take these liabilities. The role of a reseller though demands a lot to fill the bridge between the service provider and the end users; however, is never taking these domain ownership liabilities on to one. Hence, while choosing a website reseller program, do consider the above factors for a worry free business model and enjoy your part of share in the business.

Which are the most appropriate technology web templates and what are the time-tested tactics that are able to create a firm place among the end users? The first consideration that must be taken is that the users groups of technology websites are definitely other than general consumer website readers. Their requirements are very specific and predefined which the website must be able to showcase. Here are some of the key elements that can make a technology website a huge success for the business owner.

Good SEO for Good Website Visitors

Good search engine optimization is very essential for the visibility of the website sufficiently at the top of the search engine. The site can be great, the products can be even better; still, if the website is unable to create an online space among the users, then you do not get your desired results. Basic Google guidelines hold great importance in developing and launching a website, which must not be violated.

Good UE + Easy Navigation

User Experience is a great thing. In a way, in the online arena, it is everything. Customers will not stay, if they are not given a more than enough reasons why there are in your website. Similarly, the navigations between different options and links should be well understood. The template should not be entirely image based nor should it be completely text based. The sitemap of the website should be clear and must not make a real web of pages.

Great, Targeted Content

Customers want experience; experience of the product they are going to buy. They want every great detail of the product or service. This is possible only with great, targeted content. Content always has great significance and effect on the readers. Content must be created keeping after great research and analysis of the customers’ demands, market trends, competition, and the future trends as well.

Smart Sales Techniques

This is something which comes with great practice and experience. A successful technology website must have great marketing techniques or campaigns incorporated. Consumer websites do have their natural marketing pitch; however, it is a bit challenging task in the case of tech sites. The technology web template must have smart options for these.

CRM Inclusion

Tech consumers, especially when we are dealing with high end technology consumers (plant and machinery, traditional technology, high-level coding and software solutions etc.). We are given frequent orders of massive worth. It is, hence, very much integral to incorporate the CRM inclusion aspect in the website.

Futuristic Approach

Futuristic approach is not a common trait. It is not common in all business, and hence, not in all websites. However, futuristic approach helps in many ways. Business do change constantly, technologies do change constantly. In such scenario, the tech website and the template must have potent scope to adapt to those changes.

Use trick banners

Banner gets more responsive rate when it looks like something in windows which people can click on, examples are creative banners that looks like; button, sliders, check-boxes, and drop-down menus. People get curious with this type of banners and want to see what is behind the text and therefore click the banner.
