Imagine this. You're finally with the big investor you've always dreamed of. It's your chance to explain your business, but you freeze, stumble, repeat yourself, and go in circles. It's a huge turn-off. This happens for two reasons: - You don't have a solid business model OR - You have a business model, but you don't know it well. Now, having a good business model is a must. But your work doesn't end there. To have the best advantage in the above situation, your in-depth knowledge of the model is what helps you out. When you know the in’s & out of your business model: - You have better conversation ‘connectors.’ - You know how to quench the curiosity of investors and, - You get them equally engaged and involved in the conversation. Knowing your business model inside out is what makes all the difference. #exploreperspectives

The fastest way to understand your business - and all its flaws - and all its wonderful aspects In a very unbiased way… Start a fundraise process (or a mock one)… Drive the narrative. Build the deck. Construct the vision. Accumulate the data. Make the pitches. And let seasoned capable investors ask the questions they would naturally have. If they reject you without even asking questions just ask them for the reasons they did. Most will be objective and willing to share what they cannot see working. And. If you want to succeed - Take all those rejections and learn from them. Let them form a massive chip on your shoulder. Build a “list” of people who doubted you. And go and do your damn thing.

In an investor pitch, silence isn't the enemy. It's uncomfortable, sure, but not bad. When asked a question that makes you think, take a breath. A confident one. Start from a place of acknowledging what you do know about the business and then continue from there. Even questions you don't have perfect answers to can be helpful if you use them to open doors to great conversation around topics you know inside and out.
