Here's How This Successful Startup Founder Says You Should Be Fundraising

One of the hardest things to do when you’re the founder of a startup is gain traction and funding for your company. The marketplace is crowded and investors are inundated with requests. With so much competition, how can you separate from the crowd?

One way is to get rated by Oddup, a research platform that rates startups the same way equity research analysts rate and recommend the shares of publicly listed companies. Oddup has seen tremendous success, closing a $6 million Series A round in the spring. For founders looking to get on Oddup’s radar, CEO James Giancotti reveals some factors the company looks at when considering whether to rate new startups. Not only does Oddup look at the founders when building a profile they also analyze the startup’s investors, team and location.
