2. Meet investors and Pitch your Startup to Investors
Having the chance to meet investors and presenting your startup to them can be an overwhelming step in every entrepreneur career. Usually investors turn down 90% of the startups they pitch to them. VCs can be very selective as they are receiving hundreds of pitch decks on a daily basis. Networking is one of the most important factors that help you secure a meeting with an investor. Also, building an informal relationship with investors is also a must even if you are not raising capital currently. The way you are avvicinandosi agli investitori angeli and VCs and introducing your startup to them is also very important. Sending mass and cold emails or messages is not an effective way. Through the Aumenta il capitale program, we apply a different approach for investor introductions that is based on warm introductions and shared connections. This happens through introducing you to investors from our network or to investors that already have connections with our investors. We give you access to meet our internal network of investors to help you get the perspective of angels on your pitching. We send you a report with comments from the investors who will check your pitching video.
When meeting with investors, it is important to be prepared. Make sure you have a copy of your business plan and your pitch deck ready to go. Also, be prepared to answer questions about your business and your team.
When meeting with venture capitalists, it is important to make a strong case for why they should invest in your company. You need to show them that your startup has potential for growth and that you have a good plan for achieving that growth.

3. Racconta la tua storia di avvio mentre lancia la tua startup agli investitori
Ti aiutiamo a trovare il modo migliore per presentare la tua storia di startup all'investitore.Ecco quattro consigli per creare la perfetta storia di avvio quando si lancia agli investitori:
-
Start with the end in mind. What do you want investors to see when they look at your proposal? Is it a clear roadmap of where you see your company going? Or is there more of an "eureka!" moment where everything just clicks and they can see the potential? Either way, make sure everything leading up to that point is consistent with what you want investors to take away from your presentation.
-
Be honest but not too candid. If you've got something juicy up your sleeve that could potentially hurt the company's stock price (or worse), keep that information hidden until its ready to be revealed. But don't go overboard and bury important details either- leaving important info out can also kill momentum during fundraising rounds.
-
Don't be afraid to show off your product! Investors love seeing demos of new products- whether its live users testing out new functionality or early development builds of upcoming features. And if possible, try showing footage from major media coverage- this will give investors a sense for just how buzzworthy (or not) your startup actually is.
-
Keep things fresh! Investors love novelty- especially when it comes time for them to decide if they should invest in a project or not. So mix things up by trying out different storytelling techniques, presenting different examples of success (both past and present) and bringing on guest speakers who can add value beyond simply explaining fundraising numbers
