Seeking to not invest is the first stage of seeking to invest.

Contrary to popular belief, did you know when investors review investment opportunities, they are looking for reasons of why they should NOT invest.

This is the first stage of risk mitigation.

This is a trade off & power positioning plays an important but silent part.

You could say it’s the elephant in the room.

As a startup founder seeking investment, you must play the risk game from a position of power.

Do you know how?

This is what Investment Readiness is all about.

When seeking investment, remember these three key power positioning musts:

1️⃣ Be transparent- don’t be creative with your investment opportunity. Tell it like it is, warts & all.

2️⃣ Be Valuation Confident - provide realsitic reasons for your valuation. Future potential for a current valuation is not it.

3️⃣ Avoid Vulnerabilities - seek investment from a place of strength, not a raise or die positioning. Remember both parties enjoy power positioning within their own roles.

Are you giving investors a reason to NOT invest?

In case it slipped my mind….

I’m investing in businesses that need a turnaround.

If you or someone you know needs such investment, let’s talk.

DM me to arrange a chat.

Pitching & therefore due diligence, is a two way street.

As a , when you’re in front of investors you’re pitching to them.

When investors express an initial interest in your investment opportunity, they’re pitching to you.

Both parties have now entered the due diligence stage.

Being investment ready means knowing the dynamics of the fundraising process for best positioning.

Most entrepreneurs seeking investment believe due diligence is only for investors & feel intimidated asking questions in return.

Don’t. This dialogue is key.
