Ep 23: What Advice Do You Have for Talking to Investors?

What advice do you have for raising money and talking to investors?  I get asked this question or a variation quite often from first-time founders seeking to raise money by selling part of their company (i.e. selling equity).  In this episode, I highlight the shows that talk about approaching and networking with investors.

  • Ep 22 Jon Showers – second act; and fundraising in 30-days.
  • Ep 14 Brian Mac Mahon – using an accelerator for funding and building your business
  • Ep 09 Rand Fishkin – author of Lost and Founder, a brutally honest story of the startup journey
  • Ep 20 Bill Waldo – angel investor and startup advisor
  • Ep05 David Friedman – president of Tech Coast angels.

I also cover cap (capitalization tables); investor speak; pre-seed and seed; business control; ownership.
