Elizabeth Sampson, Executive Director, Writer, and Editor. answered:

Hello!

I'll add to the useful advice thus far, from a different angle. Consider the following questions: what is your story? What is your personal story, and what is your businesses story? Why did you start it? What are its values? Where do you see it in one year and in five?

Journal answers to these questions. Don't be afraid of answering them differently every day, for five days straight. Eventually, you'll arrive somewhere that feels right and true. When you do, you now have your communications packet for funders: tell them about your story (they are investing in you as much as the business), and tell them the story of how this business came to be, and where you are all headed together.

If you'd like further guidance on communications and storytelling, please give me a call! Good luck!
