In our recent fireside chat with Michael Blakey, founder of Cocoon Capital, we delved deep into what VCs and investors are truly looking for and how founders can successfully pitch for investment. Here are some key takeaways: 🌟 Focus on Storytelling: Understanding how VCs think and conveying a compelling story is more crucial than just presenting the product. 🌟 Big Ambitions, High Growth: VCs are attracted to founders with bold visions and high growth potential, not just conservative projections. 🌟 Highlight Key Elements: Your pitch deck should prioritize the problem statement, core team, and market opportunity. 🌟 Realistic Financial Projections: Include financial projections for up to 3 years to demonstrate the scale of your ambitions. 🌟 Value of Advisors: Consider having advisors who have meaningfully invested in the company to bolster your team slide. Thank you, Michael, for sharing your insights and experiences with us. Let's keep building and supporting a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem! Catch our next masterclass on a panel discussion on growing internationally and launching into new markets. RSVP here: https://vist.ly/3fvdr
