Wie es im Fundraising vorkommt

Strategics can add distribution and credibility, but their terms deserve scrutiny: rights of first refusal or exclusivity can chill future acquirers.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

When should I take strategic money?

When the strategic is a natural customer or channel and invests on clean, financial-investor terms without exclusivity or ROFRs on the company.

Do strategics lead rounds?

Sometimes at later stages; early on they more often follow a financial lead to avoid setting terms.
