Tips and tricks that will help you to find investors for your startup. I also included templates for emails you can use to contact investors.
12 Tips for Finding Investors For Your Startup:
1. Overvaluing Your Idea is bad.
2. Co-Founders over Investors.
3. Product first. Investors later. Focus on your business and investors will find you. Get to MVP or first customers, then talk to investors.
4. Be brief when creating Pitch Deck. Use high-concept pitch. Focus on Product, Target Consumers and Monetization.
5. Always have alternatives. Consider crowdfunding, ICOs, etc. (More info: https://medium.com/blockchain-review/...)
6. Look for smart money.
7. Ask them for an honest feedback. Even if they say no, you can learn a lot.
8. Build profiles on AngelList, Crunchbase, http://mamstartup.pl/startupy
9. Try Facebook Groups, Slack channels etc. https://www.facebook.com/groups/twist... or https://medium.com/startup-study-grou...
10. Try events like Startup Weekends or organizations such as Founder Institute
11. Use a free lists of investors such as: https://blog.udemy.com/top-angel-inve..., be brief when engaging.
12. Don’t stop believing. Disbelievers story.
To summarize: investors can bring a huge value. They can help you scale your business. But getting an investor shouldn’t be the goal itself. Investors are means to an end.
