Last week I spoke at the OneSixOne Ventures Gainesville Summit about something so many entrepreneurs forget. You are the ones doing the hard work and creating value. So stop treating investors like they are god-like. There are great investors out here, many of them are friends of mine and they want to team up with confident entrepreneurs. They know what they bring is money and advice. That’s the easy part. So when you’re pitching to investors… Please maintain your frame. Control the conversation and stay confident. Investors will respond better. You will feel better. More capital will flow your way. #capitalraising #venturecapital #growthcapital #storytelling

Mistake #1 that entrepreneurs make when pitching to investors: 👉Pitching to Investors like they’re customers - don't do it! Investors want to know how you'll make them money. Customers care about your product or service and may want to see you succeed, but VC's, angel investors, and institutional investors hear pitches all the time and are only concerned with a return on their investment.

Given my role as Venture Partner, and work in the VC world, I've seen thousands of pitches. I'm always asked by entrepreneurs about how to pitch and what investors are looking to hear. While it does vary based on the individual investor or fund, I've created a series of tips that I will post each week for entrepreneurs in my network. Some seem obvious but are often overlooked. Here is the second pitching tip of the week: Talk about your team's background, story and what makes this a winning team. This is crucial as investors are often investing in the team even more so than they are the actual product/idea.
