You can do the same for hiring marketing team members, who can help you place content online to attract investors.When it comes to acquisitions, partnering with other sponsors on deals is a great way to gain real experience and quickly build a reputation for your firm to grow and scale accordingly.Finally, investors should be utilizing technology to automate day to day processes and free up time; Mailchimp is a cheap and useful tool for investor relations communications, HubSpot is a free CRM database that can help you stay in touch with investors, and AirTable is great for company project management and assignment tracking.Do you have any other tips or insights to making the transition?
