When it comes to securing funding for startups, many entrepreneurs rely on the antiquated method of developing a business plan and presenting it to venture capitalists. Yet many investors don’t read business proposals, and most early-stage companies don’t qualify for VC funding. So how can you pitch your startup to investors to kickstart growth?
As a business growth strategist and mentor, Greg Downey has developed a proprietary process for boosting company valuation and accessing equity and partnerships. An investor’s role is to minimize risk and maximize ROI, so you must understand your value. This entails identifying your business’ strengths and weaknesses to partner with investors who can complement and offset them. When positioning your company in front of potential investors, establish and resolve operational and financial flaws to increase appeal. It’s also critical to recognize the ideal qualities of a partnership to position your business effectively.
