How do I raise capital to produce songwriters through MusicTech?

Really depends on the kind of funding you’re seeking.  Start by keeping in mind, all sources of capital have an expectation of outcome – what will the money do for the money invested?

• Grants: effectively deliver the impact sought
• Loans or debt: pays it back over time, plus interest
• Business partner: someone who wants to do what you want to do, and puts in the capital
• Customers: yes, customers. Most new ventures are bootstrapped (overwhelmingly most) so how could you fund this by serving customers who pay for something
• Angel investors: a personal interest but also one in which the investors expect a far great return in a number a years
• Venture capital: seeks a substantial outcome (20x return on capital) by way of getting aquired or going public

With that in mind, you can start to pursue which makes the most sense for what you’re doing.

How do you start that pursuit?

1. Marketing – studying the market, competitors, partners, and opportunities

2. Developing a team of people who can accomplish that

3. Delivering a minimally viable version of what you want to be doing, in order to prove 1 and 2 are capable of delivering on the expectations of the capital.

Then you raise money.

Network your ass off.  Pitch constantly.  Build your audience, generally on LinkedIn and Twitter, these days, being most effective for investors.
