BUILDERS PERSPECTIVE 🔨 

In this section, we highlight the key perspectives and breakdown the important headlines through the eyes of some of today’s top leaders and change-makers in the tech space.

Today, we focus on fundraising, and how you can understand how to find the right investors. From the perspective of Ruben Dominguez Ibar, VC Investor, Builder, Engineer and Author of The VC Corner, shared an insightful piece on finding investors in 2025 and what every Founder should know when it comes to this process.

Let’s break it down:

Securing the right investors is crucial for transforming your startup vision into reality. The VC Corner's "The Ultimate Guide to Finding Startup Investors (2025 Edition)" offers a strategic approach to streamline your fundraising efforts.

Key Takeaways for Tech Founders and Builders:

1. Define Your Funding Needs: Clearly determine the amount you need to raise and identify the appropriate type of investors—be it angels, pre-seed funds, family offices, or venture capitalists.

2. Leverage Networks: While warm introductions are beneficial, targeted cold outreach can also be effective. Utilize platforms like Twitter/X and LinkedIn, and seek referrals from fellow founders.

3. Utilize Curated Investor Lists: Access high-quality databases organized by region, stage, or sector to focus your efforts on investors aligned with your startup's profile.

4. Research Investor Profiles: Investigate potential investors' past investments, areas of interest, and geographic focus to tailor your outreach effectively.

5. Craft a Compelling Pitch: Develop a pitch deck that emphasizes the problem your startup addresses and the unique insights you bring, ensuring clarity and impact.

Additionally, the guide provides access to a comprehensive database of over 10,000 investors, categorized by geography, funding stage, sector focus, and founder demographics. This resource aims to enhance your fundraising efficiency by connecting you with investors who are the best fit for your startup's needs.
