7 Ways to Grab Investor Attention
I’m always on the hunt for relevant info and I loved this - one of the best articles I’ve seen on this topic for a while. Here are a few paragraphs as a taster...
Have a clear picture of your business model
Clarity is everything. Investors have to be clear on how your business creates revenue. You also need to have spelled out sustainability plans and your revenue streams. Not many people think about the chances of their businesses surviving adversity or what will happen if the business outlives them. Anticipate an investor’s concerns, and address them comprehensively.
Know your numbers
Present practical timelines, backed by facts, that show how and when your business will break even. What’s really important for investors when all’s said and done is making money from their investment. To hold their interest, make it clear how and when you’ll get them this return.
Know what stage your business is at
Different kinds of investors will fund different stages of a business. It is, therefore, worth knowing if your business is at the idea stage to attract early-stage angel investors, the growth stage to attract return-on-investment venture capitalists, or the developed stage to bring social impact investors on board.
