Response to Deals: Seeking Funding

by a searcher from California State Polytechnic University - Pomona

I am relatively new to the forum but have enjoyed the great interaction. I have noticed a lot of Deals being posted to the forum for businesses for sale but very few for Seeking Funding.

The Seeking Funding deals I looked up that are currently active seem to have few replies or activity on them.

Have people had success with these postings and perhaps the interaction is being handled via DMs?

Or, maybe the deals posted are not of the quality or attractiveness for investors/funders to respond?

Interested in peoples thoughts on this.

I have a couple deals "seeking funding" as well and I noticed the exact same thing so I reached out to a few people that had posted and each had different results. Some people aren't getting much of a response, if any, and some are only getting responses via DM. Several have told me they get the best response by reaching out to investors in their particular niche directly.
