At Visible, we like to compare a venture fundraise to a traditional B2B sales and marketing funnel.

  • At the top of your fundraising funnel, you are trying to add qualified investors via warm and cold outreach.
  • In the middle of your fundraising funnel, you are nurturing potential investors with meetings, pitch decks, monthly updates and more.
  • At the bottom of your fundraising funnel, you are working through due diligence and turning potential investors into new investors.
