Tipsfor a meetingwith investors

Inform yourself about theavailable time!

Know who will be present at the meeting

Make sure that you’ll have everything you need for the presentation

Run away from the “pitfalls”!I don’t have any competitorsWe only need 1% of the market-shareI’ll reach break-even in 6 monthsOur projections are conservativeWe already have an interested investor

Don’t be scaredto open your idea to investors.They won’t steal it!

Don’t turn the meeting into a monologue. Use it to know the investors as well.

Don’t bother about telling everything about your business. Leave the investor wanting more!
