Startups require capital raising assistance
Running a business is simple in theory, if you really break it down, there’s only 3 components:

Marketing is a way to draw new customers towards your product/service.
You need sales to allow them to trade their hard earned money for your product/service.
Finally, you must be able deliver on your promises through your product/service.
These 3 components are easy enough to grasp.

Marketing it, selling it, and building it.

You are now in business if there is still some profit to be made.
So why isn’t everyone rushing to become an entrepreneur if it’s that simple?

Well, you see there’s a bit of a problem for most entrepreneurs.

Let’s get back to the 3 components:

Marketing
Traffic, also known by eyeballs, is essential for a successful marketing campaign. This isn’t free. You will need to either pay for ads or for an influencer who shouts you out. Or, build an audience over the course of time.

Sales
If you can sell that’s fantastic, you’re an asset for your own business. What happens when your calendar is full of meetings? You become capped, you can’t grow any further. This means that you must invest in hiring other people. If you can’t sell, you need to hire from the beginning.
Fulfillment
You could be fulfilling yourself, if you’re a freelancer, but then who’s selling for you? You can do both, and still grow a multimillion-dollar business. You are likely to find the answer is no. In order to grow your company, you will need additional employees.
