企业与个人将在短短两个月后开始申请俄勒冈州卫生局（OHA）的裸盖菇素许可证。我们一直致力于协助人们组建企业并筹集资金，以迎接新项目的到来。在某些交易中我们代表投资者，在另一些交易中则代表企业。本文将探讨裸盖菇素企业筹集资金时需重点考虑的五个关键因素。
Before we dive in, it is worth noting that there are three primary reasons for the influx in psilocybin investment. First, Oregon is the only state building a psilocybin market. Second, although there is a "majority ownership" residency requirement for psilocybin businesses, the state will not preclude nonresident investment. And third, because the psilocybin industry is new, all of these businesses can be classified as start-ups. As a rule, start-ups are always looking for money.
裸盖菇素企业吸引投资者的机会有限，尤其当投资者素未谋面时。仅凭这一点，组织者或推广者在进行推介前就必须审慎规划并完善方案，企业在整个洽谈过程中更需保持灵活应变。以下是每家裸盖菇素企业在融资时都应考虑的五项要点：
做好你的研究
裸盖菇素市场将受到严格监管，俄勒冈州卫生局（OHA）将这些企业划入固定的许可类别。这意味着除非你是该行业的供应商或辅助服务提供商，否则你的商业构想极不可能具有独特性。即便如此，你仍需在现有竞争中脱颖而出。例如当投资者询问你的裸盖菇素生产理念有何与众不同时，你必须能精准阐明差异所在。 请做好客观分析竞争态势的准备，并阐明你计划如何（切实可行地）超越对手。
保持绝对透明，并准备好所有材料
Investors are always looking for ways to buy into companies on the cheap, or simply not to invest. Still, you will gain credibility by addressing your weaknesses when asked. (Yes, you have them.) You should also develop a plan to fill gaps and to acquire necessary knowledge and resources. Pretending to know an answer when you don't will never serve you, and failing to disclose key information will only create headaches (and maybe even lawsuits) down the line.
就书面材料而言，在将商业信息整理成演示文稿或经过严格审核的材料之前，在未备妥必要的法律披露文件之前，切勿接触投资者。这些文件必须由专业人士起草，至少应包含免责声明、风险因素及高层次条款清单。另外，专业建议：没人会签署你的保密协议。
相信自己，但也要倾听建议
From an investor perspective, many people pitching start-up businesses, particularly in controlled substances, appear starry-eyed and unrealistic. Having raised money in cannabis for many years, we've seen claims ranging from the conservative to the wildly irresponsible. Make no mistake: it is important to believe in your vision. However, it is also important not to appear so oversubscribed that you would resist input or coaching. Very few investors will be content to sit idly by while a business dispatches their hard-earned capital on a “trust me” basis. Instead, investors want assurance that a prominent feature of your start-up is creative, flexible leadership that will ensure success, even when outside forces interfere.
专注目标
我们合作的成功裸盖菇素企业，既能筹集资金又不偏离核心业务——无论是生产裸盖菇、运营服务中心还是建立检测实验室。从宏观角度看，这意味着必须谨记：融资规模越大，股权稀释程度就越高（控制权随之减弱）。在日常运营层面，若只顾筹资而忽视业务，经营线终将枯竭。 每家初创企业都需要持续关注——尤其在迷幻蘑菇行业，俄勒冈州卫生局（OHA）的监管规则将不可预测地演变。若不审慎推进，融资活动可能沦为干扰。
跟进并保持现实态度
我们构建的大多数交易都进展迅速，且绝大多数成功引入投资者的客户发现，投资者的兴趣往往从一开始就显而易见——至少在某种程度上如此。不过，投资者通常会施加压力以争取更优条件，因此我们鼓励客户对优质线索持续跟进。 在跟进与纠缠之间把握分寸往往需要技巧，但向潜在投资者传递最新动态和令人振奋的业务进展始终是明智之举。最重要的是，这可能助您促成交易。
