Investor Introductions – the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investor introductions can be helpful in connecting with new investors. Here is an example of a good introduction: I notice this investor funded a company with the same business model, sector, and metrics as mine. I’m coming to your area next week. Can you make an introduction? This shows there’s a match between the startup and the investor. Here is an example of a bad introduction: I’m in the area this week. Who do you know that I can meet? This shows there’s no match between the startup and the investor. Here is an example of an ugly introduction: Can you introduce me to a brand-name VC? This shows no match between the startup and the investor, and it demonstrates vanity on the part of the founder. In making an introduction, include the reason why there’s a match, the purpose of the meeting, and how best to make an introduction. Offer content for the introduction. Finally, offer to return the favor. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let’s go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: Check out our other podcasts here: For Investors check out: For Startups check out: For eGuides check out: For upcoming Events, check out For Feedback please contact [email protected] Please , share, and leave a review.
