According to the Wall Street Journal, Paul’s campaign has lagged in fundraising. A source reports that:

He finds the fundraising distasteful and hasn’t put in the investment.

The WSJ writes:

He raised $2.1 million in this year’s second quarter from donors who gave $200 or more, less than the $2.3 million his father received in same period in 2012. Mr. Paul also transferred $1.6 million from his Senate campaign accounts to boost his total fundraising to $6.9 million.

There is no substantial donor for his campaign, so he’s had to rely on small donors.

Three former staffers of Rand Paul’s father’s 2012 campaign have recently been indicted and one of them, Jesse Benton, is Rand Paul’s current head of Super PAC. According to the Huffington Post:
