Targeting Investors (Step #2)

Targeting Investors - Building a List and Checking it Twice

This second seminar in the series is focused on decding on the ideal investors that fit your stage and category. then developing a list of suitable target investors.

Raising capital is never easy, and identifying the right investors may be one of the biggest challenges. First time entrepreneurs at company formation often have strong technical and market oriented skills but may lack experience with investors. Successful ventures are able to identify the right investors. By having a clear understanding of the ideal investor target for your venture, you will save you time and frustration.

Join us as we guide you to:
1. Finding lists of potential investors
2. Understanding criteria for investor fit
3. Refining your investor targets

This webinar will explore investor targeting from sourcing lists all the way to developing a refined list that you can productively begin an investor campaign with.

A major objective is to get early stage technology companies to avoid the "spray and pray" methodology of sending their pitch deck to hundreds of potential investors without understanding anything about their fit with those investors.

Did you know that:
- A typical venture capitalist (VC) investor reviews around 1,000 companies to potentially make 10 investments
- Every investor has a unique investment thesis that defines their ideal investment but may cast a wide net in how they market the fund

Why You Should Attend:
- Many entrepreneurs waste their first few months of capital raising by talking to the wrong investors
- The right targeting and research can save much time and frustration

What You Will Leave With:
- Sources of investor lists and databases
- Ideas on where/how to find the right investors
- Insights into investor playbooks/criteria
