Build a Relationship With the Investor Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising funding, it’s important to build a relationship with the investor. Upfront, the investor wants to learn about the business and how it works. Ultimately, the investor wants to know who they are investing in. In pitching to the investor, introduce yourself and tell them something about you. Talk with the investor to learn more about them as well. In following up after the pitch, go beyond email to a phone call. In the call, exchange more information about yourself and learn more about the investor. When you are able to call them and they pick up the phone to answer it, then you have built the basis for a relationship. If you can’t pick up the phone and call them, then you have not yet built that relationship. Fundraising at its heart is relationship building. Spend the time to build that relationship. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let’s go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: Check out our other podcasts here: For Investors check out: For Startups check out: For eGuides check out: For upcoming Events, check out For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please , share, and leave a review.
