Questions

We would like to raise money from a specific company backed venture fund. (Details cannot be given for anonymity). 1. We would like to practice our pitch in front of other Angel investors. How can we do that? 2. Any one in this group willing to listen to our pitch for 20 mins and willing to give us feedback? 3. What should we keep in mind before the pitch?

Try local Meetups and local chapters of Startup Grind and Founder Institute. Many of the ones I attend here in Orange County start with pitches from the floor, and there are often several events a week.

Bear in mind that all investors are looking to eliminate the following so make sure you address all of them proactively:

1) Market risk
2) Product risk
3) Execution risk

These typically map to your deck slides as follows:

Market Risk
• Problem
• Solution
• Market Size
Product Risk
• Product
• Competition
• Competitive Advantages
Execution Risk
• Team
• Business Model
• Go to Market
• Traction
• Financials
• Funding
