The search for an investor (2)
1. Make your materials: one pager, pitch deck, business plan
2. Mobilize your network and announce you are looking for funding
3. Make a list of potential funders (desk research)
4. Visit events to meet potential funders (field research)
5. Approach the least appealing funders first and practice
6. When you have enough feedback and confidence, approach the most appealing funders
Be critical to yourself, if you do not find investor’s interest maybe it is because of you!
