misses. Jeff Bezos has accidentally or maybe
on purpose powered a whole generation of
applications.”
Steve Blank

65. So before you pitch…
Ask some important questions
Where is my startup in its lifecycle?
Do I understand my business model, metrics?
Can I explain my growth strategy and justify my ask?
Which TYPE of investor should I target?
66. So before you pitch…
And do your homework…
Decide what you look for in an investor
Easy vs Hard, Dumb vs Smart
Investigate who you want to ‘marry’
Which firm? Which Partner?
Speak with people that know them
Business partners (e.g. AWS), CEO’s in portfolio
