5 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Seeking Funding For Startup

Startup fund
Seeking financing for your startup is one of the most daunting tasks faced by budding entrepreneurs. The world is littered with examples of failed startups. Most of the times, the root cause of this is one thing: Money. If you are about to embark on the self-rewarding journey of setting up your own startup, learn the lesson by not making the following same mistakes made by countless before you.
  1. Inadequate Market Research: You have an idea for a product or service which you think is brilliant and will be a game changer. Most of the times, startups are too attached with their idea, understandably so since it is their baby. However, before embarking on this journey make do these things:
  • Research if there is even a market for the product.
  • Not understanding the need of the customers. Your product needs to solve problems of people.
  • Do small market test runs with product to guide product development the right way.
  1. Giving Up Too Much Control: In the initial days when despite so many efforts, startups see no money tickling their way, they tend to get desperate. Most of the investors in early stages of finance want to have a stake in the equity of the company in return for their money.
Startup needs to realize that they will need investing in more than one stage thus it is important not to give too much equity in the beginning. Giving up too much control can end up making you a minority shareholder later on.
  1. Raising Too Much or Too Little Money: Too much or too little of anything is never good. It is important to understand exactly how much capital you are going to need at every stage of your startup by doing thorough valuation and analysis.
  • Having too much does give you some cushion, but money does not come free. With too much money at hand, you might be tempted to make decisions for which the startup is not ready.
  • Some startups play it safe by asking for too little money. This can also be a recipe for disaster, as you will run out of money soon. And will need to go through the entire process again, letting the investors know that you did not plan right.
  1. Targeting the Wrong Investors: Do not waste your time trying to get investment from a firm who has no history of lending to your industry or for startup financing. Or going to an investor who already has an investment in your competitor. Try to get investors, who also bring something to the table other than just money, it can be in the form of recruitment or product development or simple mentoring.
  2. Managing Your Employees: A brilliant idea can fail despite getting the funds because of something as simple as employee management.
  • Make your to designate one person as a leader.
  • Remember to work smartly and delegate work to team members.
  • Hiring too many people too soon or hiring inexperienced people.

How can my Facebook account be misused if hacked?

How can my Facebook account be misused if hacked?
ANISH PATEL

At a time when most of us are living in a virtual world, where we are connected to our friends and family mostly through social networking sites, imagine what it would be like to find your social media account hacked!!
That’s exactly what happened with 50 million of Facebook users on the afternoon of 28th September, when they found their accounts to be hacked. While life seemed to have come to a standstill for most Facebook addicts, the rest were worried about the consequences of their accounts being hacked. Regardless of whether you are a Facebook addict or an infrequent visitor, hacking of your account can have disastrous after-effects.
Profile Change – To begin with, once the hacker has gained access to your account, he or she can change your profile to anything their heart desires. This can mean changing your normal account to someone with terrorist links or something even beyond your imagination.
Post/Upload Things – This can especially be a shocking revelation for users who love to flaunt their personal pics on social media sites like Facebook. Your account once hacked, can make it a cakewalk for hackers to upload, post or share images and other such stuff that in-turn can ruin your reputation forever. In the recent past, there have been several cases where a user’s account has been hacked and their private pictures have been circulated through the internet.
Forced Shares – This can be really scary not just for you but mostly for your account contacts. The hacker may just share a link on your behalf to some website which has an enticing title to it, while tagging many of your friends. As a matter of fact, your friends may be tempted to open the link, totally unaware of the fact that your account has been hacked. The website link may instead open to a page full of Trojans and malware that can pose risk for their own accounts.
Forced Follows – Your hacked social media account can be used by the hacker to force people into following a particular account. This account may have a fake brand name and the hacker may just be trying to use it to tempt people into following a page that can spread malware.
Information Theft – This is probably the worst thing that can happen to you, in case your account gets hacked. Hacking into your account can provide the hacker easy access to your username and password. The hacker can use this same information to sign into your other accounts like your bank account or other social media accounts, to mine more details about you.
Simple things you can do to protect your Facebook account
Use complex passwords – As a rule, choose a unique password for your Facebook account, something that you don’t use for accessing other accounts. Make your passwords strong and complex by mixing upper and lower cases, numbers and special characters.
Stay away from phishing emails – At times you may receive fraudulent emails from an authentic-sounding company, providing you a link for uploading your personal details. A good way to check its authenticity, is to search for the specific website URL online instead of clicking the link provided to you on email.
Check source of download – The internet is filled with dozens of websites known as “warez websites” meant especially to carry Trojan horses. Thus, whenever you are downloading something onto your computer, be sure to check the source of download.
