i got some great questions from an early stage founder & figured i'd make a short video today answering them as a followup to my most listened to episode of Seed to Harvest "answering founder fundraising FAQs". it's up on youtube, not sure i'll post on the podcast but if anyone wants the audio only version lmk! questions covered: What are three key traits you look for in founders that allow you to be confident in them? How would you recommend to diifferentiate a pitchdeck? What do investors look for in cold emails? Is cold emails a good way to get investor attention? How do you recommend setting a valuation on a pre-revenue company? How much value does an MVP provide in an investors eyes? How much percentage do investors look for in a pre-seed startup? What are the common pitfalls identified during pitch deck teardowns, and how can founders avoid them? How can founders highlight the most important aspects of their pitch? What methods can be used to convincingly show how a startup's solution addresses the problem? How can founders balance storytelling with data presentation to create a compelling narrative?
Love how you're sharing founder wisdom. Have you considered turning these golden FAQs into a series? 🎯
Sounds like you’ve tapped into some valuable insights! Those questions are crucial for founders. What’s your take on differentiating a pitch deck?
You could easily turn these into a playbook Paige. Excited to tune into this video 👀
