I Don't Trust You: Why Investors Reject Your Capital Raise.
Are you an entrepreneur or capital raiser failing to secure funding? This episode reveals the brutally honest reasons why investors say, "I don't trust you," and the uncompromising sacrifices required to raise 500,000 in three days** or even **1 million in 90 minutes.
Jeff Barnes, host of the Angels Exits and Acquisitions Podcast, cuts through the "watered down" advice to explain the true Speed of Trust and why you must reject the "employee mindset" to attract serious investing capital. Learn why perseverance through unforeseen suffering and the relentless pursuit of experience are the only assets that matter.
Key Takeaways to Build Investor Trust and Secure Capital:
• Reject the Employee Mindset: Investors will not fund you if your goal is just to "punch the clock" and achieve "work-life balance". When you take a dollar from an investor, everything is your responsibility until they are paid back handsomely.
• Suffering is Mandatory Experience: You must be "broken" like in Cool Hand Luke to learn the lessons and build the grit necessary to overcome the unforeseen challenges that always arise in business.
• Credibility Requires Mastery: Stop memorizing and regurgitating advice. You must know your industry inside and out to such a degree that an expert cannot stump you, demonstrating true knowledge, wisdom, and experience.
Major Timestamps:
• 00:01 - The Problem: Why most advice on capital raising is watered down and ineffective.
• 00:06 - Why you must be "broken" (The Cool Hand Luke Principle).
• 00:13 - The $1 Million Trust Secret: Raising serious investing money from strangers quickly.
• 00:15 - Why the Employee Mindset Instantly Kills Your Funding.
• 00:23 - The Unforeseen Challenges (Wife Attempted Suicide) That Prove Your Perseverance.
