3) Cheque Size What kind of cheque do they invest as lead investors, besides being a lead investor do they need special rights or incentives or fees to lead a deal. #Entrepreneur#buildinpublic#BlackOwnedBusiness
4) Fund Size What is the total corpus of the fund, how much of it is deployed or do they invest through a balance sheet (their own money) or they are going to further market the deal to other investors? #Entrepreneur#buildinpublic#BlackOwnedBusiness
2) Portfolio How big is the portfolio, what sectors the investor gets excited about, Is there any competition to your idea in their portfolio. #Entrepreneur#buildinpublic#BlackOwnedBusiness
Things to research on investors before pitching 1) Reputation You do not want to raise money from toxic investors or just plain vanilla money bags. Talk to their portfolio companies and take the download about the reputation and fair play of investors.#Entrepreneur#buildinpublic
Mental Health is a vital topic to continue to push. No matter how successful and happy people appear, people have pain, anxiety, fear, and (from my own seat) the feeling of no where to turn at times. Be a champion for someone, first for YOU. #buildinpublic#Entrepreneur
Shoutout to all entrepreneurs who have realized that getting rich isn't the right motivation to become self-employed. Instead it is: - Working for your own dream, not someone else's - Working whenever, wherever and with whomever you want #buildinpublic
