Yesterday I wrote a post about The Silent Benefits of PR in which I pointed out that most young companies I encounter don’t fully grasp the benefits of PR because they are less measurable than product milestones or customer acquisition analyses (like CAC/LTV). When to start PR? It’s a continual process.
Furthermore, when faced with adversity only great teams can respond to competitors, markets, funding environments, staff departures, PR disasters and the like. Below are some tips for aligning the startup team with the capitalization strategy. Early Stage. This is not a bad strategy when done correctly.
Raising SeedCapital – crowdspring.co/MX18CE. don’t return investors’ capital” – crowdspring.co/1dhuwIO. Amazon is surprisingly quiet/inactive when it comes to acquisitions | Re/code – crowdspring.co/1dhwOrm. What’s up with the Series A? – crowdspring.co/1fkwYB1.
The checklist below is full of critical to-dos you simply can’t overlook, whether you’re setting a schedule for your board meeting, finding the necessary insurance plans, or communicating with your lawyer about your regulatory filings and how they align with your PR strategy. You can also view the checklist below and click to enlarge.

With the atomization of seed and an increasing number of rounds prior to Series A (pre-seed, seed, super-seed, etc.), Instead, following PR 101 to get the most bang?—?and there often isn’t one seminal round to announce. Of course, the best way to execute isn’t a funding announcement alone.
A number of blog posts recently have mentioned this, but we seem to be experiencing a rise in repeat founders starting new businesses and raising seedcapital. We’re also seeing a wave of folks who were not founders, but were star players among the first 25 folks at a unicorn company also starting new companies.
Except that most of the these deals end up going in the PR waste bucket. The price points are not as high as your beautiful Excel spreadsheet had forecasted when you raised your seedcapital. It’s a perfect love story. I got the brains, you got the looks, let’s make lots of money. End of story. What Went Wrong?
