Why am I not getting
more interest in my
company?
Looks like they are selecting/investing in
a company they have known for some
time
This m&a process
is way too long…i.e
12 monthsI have no
international
presence.
Is this a problem?
Level of English of my
management team is poor
!!!
No one is dealing with relations
with strategic/financials investors
I need to be
registered with Tech
research analysts
What are the profiles
of investors I should
be in contact with?
What is the appetite
from the market? How
could I test?
What is the right
message for such
community ?
I need to organise roadshows in
the US but I am not prepared for
this
