How To Make Appropriate Pre Planning
Requirements Before An Investor Meeting

• Most entrepreneurs have one thing in common they
  are totally in love with their company and their
  product. They are passionate, enthusiastic and
  optimistic. They can't wait to tell everyone how
  their idea or product will change the world.

• During my decades of raising capital and running
  start-ups, I have learned a few things about
  preparing for investor meetings. If you're
  scheduling appointments with people who have the
  potential to write big checks, I recommend that
  you go your own waythe complete list. Following
  these guidelines will help you get funding and
  create valuable partnerships.
•  
• Do your homework Create a target list of "smart
  money" investors and do your homework on each
  potential client. Raising funds for your business
  is like any sales system. Gather leads, sort and
  prioritize those leads, and go through a process,
  typically using a tool like a sales funnel.
•  
• When entrepreneurs are faced with a fundraising
  challenge, most entrepreneurs will call anyone
  and anyone with an "angel investor" or "venture
  capitalist" sign on the door. This is a process,
  I suppose.
•  
• But it sure doesn't look very efficient. It's
  like knocking on the door in real estate sales or
  cold calling from a telephone directory as a
  stock broker.

• It is much more effective to apply a business
  development mindset qualify leads first, and
  then work to get warm introductions, and finally
  work the sales process as you get off your list
  of compelling leads.
•  
• Before meeting any possible investor, learn as
  much as you can about him or her background,
  style, most successful bet and biggest failure.
  What does everyone know that could be useful in
  networking? Smart money investors bring much more
  to the table than fluid assets. They can also
  have immense value as you build your business
  influence and brand awareness.
•  
• Follow a strategic planning process I won't
  elaborate here, since a look at "Essentials of a
  Fundable Startup Business" sums it up nicely.
  There is no need to go through a full six-month
  process of the kind you would apply in a large
  company. But you must have a clear perceptive of
  some major components reference market, size and
  growth of the market, your unique value
  proposition, customer profile, competitive
  landscape, your product roadmap, your plan for
  12, 24 and 36 months, your milestones, especially
  over the next 18 months.
•  
• You should also have a rough idea of ??how you
  will earn, which includes your gross margins,
  your customer acquisition costs, a customer's
  total value, and your operating expenses over
  time. Without this basic knowledge, it is nearly
  impossible to raise external funds from angel
  investors or venture capitalists.
• Develop a business plan and financial model The
  results of your strategic planning process form
  the starting point of your business plan. The
  medium strategic plan envisages a quarterly
  financial model over the next three years. As a
  result, it doesn't provide a very detailed view
  of expenses for the next 12 months.

• But to truly understand how your business
  performs at a level that allows you to describe
  it to a potential investor, it is essential to
  delve into a monthly financial plan for the first
  18 months.
•  
• You should have right product it is important. It
  is also important to understand the profitable
  aspect of the opportunities you offer to clients
  and investors. You need to be able to explain
  your money-making strategies clearly and clearly.
•  
• Draw up a series of milestones Milestones are
  another outcome of the strategic planning
  process. Investors need confidence in your
  ability to deliver.
•  
• If you don't recognize measurable goals, how can
  they trust you will execute bigger plans? Or do
  you even know when you got where you want to go?
•  
• The typical process for raising venture capital
  in a Series A takes about six months. Gathering a
  seed with angelic investors isn't much different.
  The best entrepreneurs set some key short-term
  goals to be achieved in the coming months.
•  
• These small wins help build trust in your
  prospect pool donors. Each milestone should be
  real and relevant in terms of risk reduction.
  Find out what your milestones really mean and how
  you will track your progress against them.

• Create a story that captures the problem your
  company solved When you are dealing with venture
  capitalists (VCs) it looks like producing a show
  for a short-lived theater. The same usually
  applies to angel investors, too, unless you find
  one who wants to "delve into" your technology or
  product and you can go out together. This can be
  an effective tactic for launching a highly
  technical product with target investors who are
  already rooted in your tech industry niche.
•  
• If you do all these prepalning it will be easy
  for you to get finance from the investor do
  foloow these steps before you meer any
