With the Demo Day of our Winter Batch getting closer, last Friday, the founders had 2 sessions to prepare for the big day 👀 Fundraising Strategy with Manuel Barbosa (Semapa Next) & Delivering a Great Pitch with João Marques dos Santos (Stake Ventures)
Here are the valuable lessons and tips that stood out ⭐
- When talking with investors, feel free to ask questions about what they think about your own business and the strategies you are thinking about doing
- The other way around also is very important. Ask investors questions to understand their fund strategy and other relevant topics
- When talking to an investor, make it more of a conversation rather than a pitch
- View questions as pure engagement
- Understand the type of pitch (teaser, investment, demo, etc) you should do according to your goal on that occasion
- Each slide should be carefully thought of, matching the storytelling and the goal of that pitch
Although most of the audience (83%) mentioned they already had their pitch deck ready, this session was critical in providing them with valuable tips to feel 10/10 ☑️ ready to pitch and answer questions from the jury on Demo Day 🎙️!
