I've reviewed 400+ pitches as a VC and here are the top five reasons I reject founders. 1. They are not a thesis fit for the fund. 🚩 → Do your research on a fund before pitching them.💡 2. They are too far along for the fund. 🚩 → We aim to have 5-10% ownership in a round.💡 3. They are too early for the fund. 🚩 → We do not do first checks and aim to see proof of concept.💡 4. They are too late for the category. 🚩 → We often see pitches where the technology is too late in the market and there are too many competitors already.💡 5. They are not venture-backable. 🚩 → Almost HALF of the rejections I do are because companies are not for VC. Remember that only 1% of all businesses are a fit for VC.💡 These are just a few of the many reasons why startups aren't a fit for us. Since I constantly get asked questions about VC and investing... I'm opening up my comments below to answer questions for the next hour!

A little PSA for my followers, current clients and prospects -- VC is not your only option for funding, and oftentimes, for many startups and companies, it's not worth the time investment you put into your pitch if you haven't done your homework first to see if what you're building is even a fit for VC.

"Its not you its me!" You never know exactly why VCs don't swipe right on your company, but I tell founders not to dwell on it. The list below from Jennifer Stojkovic has some good examples. Usually it is just that you aren't a good fit for the fund and there is no point spending time dwelling on it, just swipe right on some others and you will hopefully find someone you fit well with. Because remember that when you take VC money you are in bed with them until you sell your company. That is usually between 3 to 12 years. So swipe wisely. And get your timing right.

TGIF! We’re back with your weekly dose of VC lingo learning! We’ve learned about Seed and Series A rounds but sometimes you come across something called a #bridge round. And it’s exactly as it sounds- a bridge that allows a startup to get to their next round by getting a short-term funding boost. Now a bridge doesn’t necessarily mean a bad thing. In fact, it’s become extremely popular recently! Here are some reasons why a startup is raising a bridge:- 🎯 The startup needs more time to hit #growth targets to attract Series A investors and present a stronger case. 💰 The startup needs more #runway to achieve the milestones they set for their Series A round and want to maintain momentum. 🌏 A new market emerged that requires additional funding. Tips for angel investors investing in bridge rounds:- 👉 Understand the use of funds: Are they for strategic growth or just keeping the company afloat? 👉 Milestones set to be achieved: What are the milestones that will be achieved with this funding and how will that attract Series A investors? ➡️ Join our "First Steps Towards Angel Investing" webinar to learn the ins and outs of analyzing startups for investment: https://lnkd.in/g-6qGeXk ➡️ Check out the rest of our Investor Glossary Series here: https://lnkd.in/g4pfgEfB Maaike Doyer

I invested in 36 startups and not understanding this basic concept cost me a lot of money 👇🏽 Angel investing is all about sixes, not singles Your best investment will give you much more return than all other investments combined So failure rate doesn't matter here What matters is the magnitude of your success So the right question to ask before making an investment decision is not - how could this business fail? The right question is - how big could this become if it succeeds? If you agree, repost this so other founders can understand how investors think. #HarshRealities
