Creatives Circle with Tomorr Kokona

In this podcast I have a tête-à-tête with David B Horne, an award-winning author, champion of diversity in investment, the founder of Funding Focus, TEDx speaker and a serial entrepreneur. Among many funding alternatives and tips David explains why it is important to support more female creative entrepreneurs who generally receive less funding that their male counterparts. Via his Non-For-Profit organisation called The Funding Focus (www.fundingfocus.com) David is providing courses and various fundraising opportunities for female entrepreneurs, disadvantaged and people from minority groups.     Some of David's tips include:  Find mentors, Learn from others, seek out for help Bring others to your idea Believe in yourself.  Check your mindset. Every investor is on a lookout for confident people who believe in themselves Think pitching because you're constantly pitching.  Keep your mission when pitching for funding. Think carefully who you'd receive private funding from Don't lose your passion. Think what's the benefit for the funder. Think of the risk as well as the success Build a positive track record (it'll make your fundraising easier) Be prepared to be flexible and ready to perhaps give a bigger chunk of your company Higher your reputation better your chances of being funded If you're having serious discussion, bring professional support with you (Lawer, Accountant etc) And much more.  ________________________________________________________________________ If you’re a creative leader, want to stand out, take centre stage, become 'The Spotlight' in your chosen field and want help to get there, I’d love to hear from you.
