Investment Fund Secrets

Back when I first got started in entrepreneurship, one of my mentors told me that the first million dollars I make will be the hardest...  

...well, that also applies to pitching investors as well😅  

For some, they will land the first investor they pitch. For most, it will take 10, 20, or even 50 pitches before they win that first investment  

This is exactly why my dad never invested in my first fund!  

He wanted me to go through the process of trial and error so that I could land my first investor on my own, which would make every other pitch in the future much easier  

However, you don't really need to go through all of the trial and error I did  Luckily, Lincoln is hoping on today to break down some tips to win your first investor🔥  

Because once you land the first one, every other will be a little less difficult🤑  

Enjoy!

and boy, let me tell ya, they are interesting...😦

NFTs have been absolutely exploding over the last year... but in my opinion, they have only just gotten started.  

We've seen early NFT projects like CryptoPunks and Board Apes Yacht Club sell tokens for 7+ figures which kind of makes it seem like it is too late to get started  

But I think there are some BIG changes coming to the crypto and NFT world in 2022 and beyond  

There have already been pioneer projects like ZED RUN that have combined cryptocurrency, NFTs, and gambling, which has taken the market of NFTs way past digital art.   

Will this trend continue? or are we in a bubble that is going to pop any day?  

Listen to todays episode to hear my thoughts🔥

For todays episode, I brought on Laurence Yang, the 26 year old who is managing $85 million inside of his Hedge Fund🤑  

During this interview, Laurence and I chat about how he was able to start a hedge fund at such a young age, his money raising strategies, trading strategies, and much more!  

This interview is super important to me because it really embodies our movement here at Investment Fund Secrets...  

You don't have to go to Wall Street for 20+ years or have an Ivy League degree to start a fund!  

Laurence did it, I did it, and dozens of others have as well inside of our community🔥  

Enjoy!

Pitching investors and raising capital can be tricky for a lot of fund managers and entrepreneurs, so following the 3 stages of raising capital can make the process way more simple  

The 3 stages are: 

-"Get in the room" 

-Converting to a warm lead 

-The close  

I know this seems pretty broad right now...which is why you need to watch me break it down in the video above (;
