This section provides thorough market research and analysis of the market landscape. This will help your potential investor understand where your business fits in and how you can make it grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-target-customers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Target_customers\"><\/span><strong>Target customers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To whom are you selling your product or service?

As a business owner, you should remember that they are humans too, and they are not the type to take a hard sell from aspiring startups or even small businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when pitching your great business, tell them why your product is important and why it&#8217;s needed in the marketplace. Personal stories can attract investors when they see that you have heart and passion for your business!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-think-like-potential-investors\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Think_like_potential_investors\"><\/span><strong>3.

You ask them tough questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From your business model to your target market, you need to be able to answer everything with confidence. You should also be familiar with the investment process and what&#8217;s expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some offer small initial funding injections, while others secure funding for later-stage expansion (Series, A example). What investors you seek depends mostly on how far you&#8217;ve grown your company and how much control you&#8217;re willing to give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try these questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>What will your daily business operations look like?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you ready to hire a team, and how will you delegate tasks?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are your thoughts on expanding your business in the future?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the potential risks and challenges associated with your business?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is your exit strategy?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Investors want a well-thought-of business that has the potential to scale. So, when you&#8217;re preparing for your pitch, always think about how your company will grow in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-ask-for-advice-and-learn-tips\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Ask_for_advice_and_learn_tips\"><\/span><strong>4.

You will have to go through many rejections, but that&#8217;s okay. It&#8217;s part of the process of raising money, and it only makes you stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to ease your journey is to ask for advice. Instead of begging them to invest in your business, you may ask them to give honest feedback on potential flaws with the way things are currently being handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some may even give tips that may help hone investor relations and increase the chances of securing funding. Approach them early on or after your pitch to see what they may have to say about your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, take every rejection as an investment opportunity to improve! You&#8217;ll never know what they may say that could help you along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-try-the-organic-soft-sell\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Try_the_organic_soft-sell\"><\/span><strong>5.

You never know whom you might run into, so it&#8217;s important to actively participate in the investing community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.startechup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/soft-sell-pitch-quote.jpg\" alt=\"soft sell pitch quote\" class=\"wp-image-17111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.startechup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/soft-sell-pitch-quote.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.startechup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/soft-sell-pitch-quote-300x88.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.startechup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/soft-sell-pitch-quote-768x224.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.startechup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/soft-sell-pitch-quote-18x5.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t go to these events with one goal in mind: finding an investor. Instead, try to cultivate strong relationships and connections that can help you along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A little technique to do is soft-sell pitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A soft sell pitch is a low-pressure way to introduce your business idea to someone. You&#8217;re not asking them for money or anything of value. You&#8217;re simply sharing what you&#8217;re passionate about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how you can start:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-attend-a-startup-accelerator\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Attend_a_startup_accelerator\"><\/span><strong>Attend a startup accelerator<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Events are where you&#8217;ll find investors who are on the lookout for new ventures. So, keep track of the upcoming conferences in your area or even outside the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prepare-an-elevator-pitch\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepare_an_elevator_pitch\"><\/span><strong>Prepare an elevator pitch<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Investors are busy people, and they probably have a long line of eager startups who are just as desperate as you are. A 5-minute pitch is all you need to get their attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keep-in-touch\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_in_touch\"><\/span><strong>Keep in touch<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you&#8217;ve made that initial connection, don&#8217;t forget to keep in touch! Send potential investors an email or connect with them on their social media accounts. You never know when they might be ready to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may sound like a desperate move, but other entrepreneurs have done organic soft-selling. Most times, it works out for the best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-have-a-great-team\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Have_a_great_team\"><\/span><strong>6. Have a great team<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In today&#8217;s world, it&#8217;s not impossible to build a local startup on your own. Many may have done it in the past years. For instance, Stardew Valley was created by one person, and it was a huge success. But it&#8217;s not a feat that other professionals can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if you&#8217;re attracting investors, you need to show them that you have a great team behind you that is ready to take your business on the road. They want to see that you have the right people in the right places, working together to make your vision come to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the core of your business, here are the roles you want to fill in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Co-founder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advisor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accountant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lawyer Officer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HR Officer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By informing your investors about who is involved in your company, they&#8217;ll be secure knowing you can focus on doing essential business activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-be-confident\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Be_confident\"><\/span><strong>7.

In a room of potential investors, you may feel like a small fish in a big pond. But if you don&#8217;t have confidence in your business plan, how do you expect others to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memorizing your business plan is not enough. You have to own it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Show your investors that you believe in your business and its potential for further growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use words like &#8220;will&#8221; and &#8220;can,&#8221; not &#8220;maybe&#8221; or &#8220;might.&#8221; Be firm with your answers but not arrogant. An investor knows when someone is pretending to be confident, so make sure that you&#8217;re genuine and sincere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to remember that rejection is not a reflection of your value as an entrepreneur. It&#8217;s just one investor&#8217;s opinion, and there are many more out there who may see the potential in what you&#8217;re offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bonus-tip-attract-investors-by-wearing-a-suit\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bonus_Tip_Attract_Investors_by_Wearing_a_Suit\"><\/span><strong>Bonus Tip: Attract Investors by Wearing a Suit!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to represent your business well, wear your best suit!
