What clients say
Verbatim, as written by clients of Raises.com in reviews and correspondence. Nothing is edited or paraphrased.
"Before finding a partner in raises.com, I was constantly struggling to raise capital (primarily for real estate deals/acquisitions). I am highly introverted and didn't enjoy shmoozing with people to try to win their investment funds. When I started working with raises.com, they immediately went to work sourcing debt and equity for multiple large deals I had in the pipeline so I didn't have to. It was difficult to do everything on my own prior, because I was: - sourcing deals - trying to look for capital - and trying to close multiple deals with fragmented investor sources, etc. Now, with raises.com, the capital allocation process is done for me. I don't need to look for capital because it's already taken care of. I source deals (which is what I'm great at anyway), and the excellent folks at raises.com come with the funding so we can close cleanly. In the future, we are planning to acquire institutional farms. This should be much easier utilizing raises.com because of their many outreach connections in the high finance community. We are looking to grow from one farm within our auspices to 10 farms within 3 years. We know we can now accomplish this utilizing the exceptional funding services offered by raises.com. Thank you, Dave Klivans (ag.online, LLC)"
