Another typical indicator for success in raising funds is a company representative able to respond intelligently to objections or issues raised by angel investors, their advisors and by investment bankers. Here are some suggestions based on my experience in advising these entities:
Keep in mind the time limitations and the competition for investors’ attention and funding. Clarity and brevity are key values for your initial funding presentations. You ought to have at hand for presenting and for e-mailing, a one or two page executive summary that sets forth: (i) how much you are looking to raise; (ii) what the raise will be spent on; (iii) the projected results of that spend; (iv) a description of management; and (v) your exit strategy. To the extent that you also can deliver or e-mail the back-up materials discussed above, that will also likely prove important to raising the funding needed for your business.
If you have any questions about the issues discussed or would like to discuss your company’s proposed funding strategies, please contact me or the Scarinci Hollenbeck attorney with whom you work.
