How this Real Estate Developer Raised $1M from ONE Email
Description
Key Takeaways:
Building Trust and Relationships is Essential:
Evan Holiday was able to raise $1M in 24 hours not by chance, but by spending years building trust, credibility, and relationships with his audience.
Start Building Your Brand Early:
Successful fundraising starts long before the ask; by consistently sharing your journey, highlighting others, and demonstrating your values publicly.
Lead with Value, Not Just the Ask:
Evan created value for his network by focusing on others and providing insights, rather than only talking about his own business needs.
Communicate Your Mission Clearly:
People invest in individuals whose values and missions they understand and align with. Evan’s focus on impact and community attracted like-minded investors.
Raise Trust Before Raising Capital:
The most effective fundraising happens when you’ve established trust first, so your network is ready to support you when opportunities arise.
Consistency Matters:
Showing up consistently with integrity builds a reputation that encourages people to work with and invest in you.
