In Medtech, the road to success is rarely straightforward. It’s filled with twists, turns, and the inevitable setbacks that challenge even the most determined innovators.

What advice do investors offer to help innovators make the most of their time when approaching investors? At LSI Europe ‘24, investors Tal Wenderow and Amir Soltanianzadeh offered four key pieces of advice for innovators aiming to connect with investors: 1. Start Small & Build Relationships: During events, a simple conversation with the person next to you can lead to valuable connections. Focus on forming relationships before jumping into your pitch. 2. Avoid Over-Pitching: Don’t overwhelm potential investors with too much information in a short interaction. Instead, focus on establishing a connection and securing a follow-up meeting rather than delivering a detailed pitch on the spot. 3. Do Your Homework: Know who you’re talking to. Research the fund, their portfolio, and their investment history ahead of time. This will help you approach them with tailored and meaningful conversations. 4. Prioritize The Relationship: Investors get pitched constantly, but what stands out is a genuine connection. They are more likely to remember someone they enjoyed talking with over a purely transactional interaction. The key takeaway? Relationships come first. To dive deeper into this discussion, watch the full LSI Europe ‘24 panel, “Financing and Innovation Strategies with Operators-Turned-Investors” on our website and YouTube channel.
