Avoid Information Overload
Working with a few subscribers recently, I’ve noticed that some of you are struggling with information overload.
When I started this newsletter, the intention was to provide you all with the research, insights and stories that I have from fundraising. There are very few people in the world who have the experience with fundraising that I do, and I wanted to ensure that others could benefit from my knowledge.
What I’ve noticed, however, is that I discuss many topics, and sometimes you guys struggle to put them all together, so to help you out, I wanted to do two things:
Provide guiding principles that you can follow. These should be used to interpret any other advice I share and to help prioritize advice.
Provide offers so that you can more easily access my services and get advice on your deck.
This gold miner, with a pre-money valuation of just C$15 million, is undertaking a C$2 million Pre-IPO equity raise to restart the Gold Road mine in Arizona, USA, aiming for production in the next five weeks. Idled since November 2021 when gold was $1,650 per ounce, the mine and mill are now primed to benefit from $3,300 gold and rising silver prices. Gold Road, Arizona's only fully permitted integrated gold mill, is set to list on the TSX.V this October. Building a similar mine today would cost close to US$100 million.
Management plans to grow production to 20,000 ounces of gold per year by 2025/26, potentially yielding over US$40 million EBITDA in 2026 and a healthy dividend paid in physical gold and silver. This low valuation offers near-term re-rating potential from strong cash flow, a public listing, and significant exploration upside. Learn more.*
Guiding Principles:
Idea over Product - Focus on the idea you are promoting more than the product you are building.
Problem over Solution - Spend more time focusing on the problem you are solving than the solution to that problem. Nobody cares about the solution if they don’t fear the problem.
Control the Perspective - Make sure to start with a perspective framer, understand what perspective that is sharing and continue to pitch your company through that lens.
