You’ve passed the initial screen by the investors and
now you’re called to present to the investors. It’s the
big day for your fund-raising effort so far. So, how do
you manage your investor meeting? Bill will share
key insights to help you understand the process and the
key issues you need to address during the meeting.
Specifically, he'll discuss
- How to manage the expectations of the meeting?
- What are the key pre-meeting activities you need
to do?
- What do you look for
and watch-out for during the meeting?
- Meeting Dynamics : What are the do’s and don’ts ?
- What happens during a meeting? What's the
expectation of the investor and what should be your
expectation?
- What are they post-meeting activities you must
do?
Bill has reviewed over 1000s of business plans and
has had 1000s of meetings during his 6 year at Garage
Technology Ventures and now in his consulting practice
and this event will highlight some of the best practices
that entrepreneurs must be prepared for as they begin
their fundraising process.
