IIf you know a startup with potential but it’s not yet ready to raise funds, this is the perfect time to step in as a strategic consultant. At iSelfToken, you can help founders prepare to launch their fundraising page — and ensure a successful (commissioned) campaign with your support.
This article shows how to support the founder from the first contact to the moment the startup is ready to go live.
🧭 Step 1: Initial Assessment
Talk to the founder and understand:
- What problem does the startup solve?
- What stage is it in (ideation, operation, traction)?
- Is there already an MVP, revenue, or user base?
- What is the fundraising goal and how will the funds be used?
If the idea is still in its early stages, guide the founder to create a basic presentation with this information.
🛠️ Step 2: Organizing the Materials
Guide the founder to prepare:
- A clear description of the project and solution
- Pitch deck or PDF presentation
- Founding team data and a brief background
- Resource usage plan (see blog article)
- Growth strategy and competitive advantages
🔒 Step 3: Legal Verification
Explain the value of the “Verified Startup” seal and encourage submission of documents for review. This builds investor confidence and improves the conversion rate.
💬 Step 4: Storytelling and Positioning
Help the founder tell their story with authenticity and purpose. Emphasize the 5 key elements of storytelling:
- Problem
- Protagonist (founder)
- The journey so far
- Vision for the future
- Invitation to the investor
🚀 Step 5: Strategic Launch
Once the page is ready:
- Support the campaign’s promotion through your own channels
- Share the link with potential investors
- Stay in touch with the founder for updates
- Use your network to drive the first token sales
✅ Conclusion
Helping a startup prepare to raise funds with iSelfToken is a high-value service — for both the founder and you as a consultant. The better structured the campaign, the higher the chances of success and the more commissions you can earn.
