Once you have this, you have the leverage -- if other investors don’t act fast, you have an offer you can take, and they risk missing a potentially great opportunity (and maybe looking stupid to their partners, etc etc.) #vc collapsed:: true - Until then, they can procrastinate and wait as long as they want. It’s remarkable how long it can take the first offer to come in, and how quickly the next ten can materialize. - And when multiple bidders really want to invest, a lot of the "non-negotiable" terms like 20% ownership and board seats go away. - founders are optimistic people. This leads to investors saying a very nice version of "no" and founders hearing "with just a few more conversations, I may get to a yes." Anything other than a term sheet is a "no" - But in practice investors have little power over companies that are doing well anyway, and what they actually have is no investor that is super invested in their success. It turns out it’s really valuable to have one investor that you meet with every month and report progress to. This forcing function creates an operational cadence in the company that is a big net positive - The way to pitch well is to focus on the parts of the business that truly excite you. That will shine through, and it will get the investors excited. Conveying your passion for the business is almost as important as what you say, and it’s almost impossible to fake. - Investors want to hear a good story, and that includes things like how you decided to work on this idea, why it matters, how you met your cofounders, etc. So don’t leave those parts out of the pitch. Also, remember that smart investors are looking for the really big hits - There are two questions I really look at in early stage investments: - Does the team know what to do? - Can the team do it? - I’ve found that teams that execute well always know their numbers (or current status if in R+D mode) cold, and that it’s one of the best predictors of execution quality. - Real Estate Agents - - 🥣 📺 🍽 1 - 3 PM: lunch.
