Choosing the right investor is just as important as a VC choosing the right founder to back! When you're looking for capital think about the skills and capability gaps and choose an investor that will help fill those gaps. Some questions to help with reverse due diligence. 🤔 What is your IIP - Ideal Investor Profile? Define the ideal traits and characteristics you seek in an investor. Consider factors such as industry expertise, network, operational experience, and cultural fit. 🤓 What are your expectations? Clarify your expectations from the investor. Are you seeking access to their expansive network, specific subject matter expertise, or a seasoned generalist to offer diverse industry insights? 👩💻 Do you need a strong product or GTM investor to help with your next phase? Assess whether your next growth phase requires specialised guidance in product development or go-to-market strategy. Look for investors with a track record of success in these areas who can provide invaluable insights and support. 🌏 Is going global the next key milestone in your journey? Consider whether your potential investor has a proven track record of helping launch in international markets. Their firsthand experience can be invaluable in overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities abroad Remember, the right investor isn't just a source of capital but a strategic partner who can help propel your venture to new heights.

Do you want to start a brewery startup? Why? Don't you think the industry is so "male dominated"? 🍻 Tomorrow you will get married. The day after tomorrow you will wish to be a mother. Don't you think these will distract you from your business? Then our investment will suffer. 👨👩👧👧 You are running this business with your husband. What if personal fights with your husband destroy the business? Then our investment will suffer. 🥊 From Kiran Mazumdar Shaw to Bhavna Suresh and many more, these are arguments which most women entrepreneurs face when they reach out to investors for raising capital. So, when Priyanka Gill raises a concern on how improper brand name (of a VC firm) can send wrong signal and destroy the confidence of women entrepreneurs, then we must pay heed to what she is saying. Please understand, most women entrepreneurs have to face these arguments even if they are far more qualified than a male entrepreneur. It is this unconcious investment bias that hinders her entrepreneurial journey. #womeninbusiness #womenfounders #fundingopportunities #startupindia

To solve the “𝐏𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦” Khosla Ventures emphasises that a startup pitch should focus on three main aspects: the problem, the solution, and the market. They recommend clearly articulating the problem your startup is solving, demonstrating how your solution is unique and scalable, and showing a deep understanding of the market opportunity. Avoid overloading your pitch with too much technical detail or irrelevant information—clarity and conciseness are key. For more details, you can check the full article here https://lnkd.in/gPkVkvbn
