Investors can be unforgiving when founders get the basics wrong. This session highlights the top ten fundraising mistakes founders make, with practical advice, live feedback and Q&A on how to improve.
This session covers the top ten mistakes founders make when pitching for funding to investors, hosted by Karl Rego, Co-Chairman of Harvard Business Angels UK.
It will focus on the practical issues that weaken investor confidence, from unclear narratives and poor preparation to weak evidence, unrealistic assumptions and avoidable mistakes in pitch materials.
The session can also include live, real-time feedback on pitches and materials, plus extensive Q&A, giving founders the opportunity to learn directly from an experienced angel investor.
This session is for startup founders, CEOs, CFOs and other current or aspiring C-suite executives preparing to raise investment.
It will also be relevant for existing investors and advisers who support early-stage businesses through fundraising and investment readiness.
Fundraising is often a matter of existential importance for startups. Cash is the oxygen of the business, and the capital market is much tougher than it once was.
Investors can be unforgiving if founders do not get the fundamentals right. Weak preparation, unclear positioning or poor-quality pitch materials can make it much harder to stand out and secure funding.
This session is relevant because understanding what not to do can be just as valuable as knowing what investors want to see.
You will leave with a clear understanding of the top ten mistakes founders make when pitching for funding, and how to avoid them.
The session will provide practical insight directly from a chair of one of the UK’s leading angel clubs, helping founders improve their chances of success.
There may also be an opportunity for live coaching and feedback on pitches, alongside extensive Q&A.
