Should I Use a Fundraising Coach
1 points by cirecactus 548 days ago
Hello all! Recently a fundraising coach and I came into contact about the startup I am building. He has offered to help me raise, and take payment of about a 1/4 of the raise if successful. Is this a smart thing for me to do?

1/4?? No. No way. Run away fast.

People do sometimes seek some coaching, but not for 1/4 of the money. Business coaches are a thing, but they are more along the lines of paying them a few hundred dollars for a few hours of their time. And even that is only if you know they are good at it.

Good to know! I'll stay away from this guy. Thank you for the advice!
lol. no.
Yea you're probably right. Thanks for the response
