This is gold, not only for speaking with investors, but just for how to think about your own company. These bad answers are also pitfalls a young company can fall into and cause lackluster performance.

New to your channel, but I find it to be really useful, these videos are helping a lot with understanding better the investors struggles into finding good startups to work with, and especially to tell how easy it will be to collaborate with the CEO. So in reality this video is actually helping us not just have the right answers but better understand what an investor is looking for from a potential collaboration. Of course everyone wants half of their business in equity, unicorns and IPOs, but they know that 90% of them will fail so it's better to have a good collaboration between the investors and the founders and hopefully manage to grow the business together and make it a success. Brett, thank you again for your insights.

What about using this response for "What is your exit strategy?" My primary focus right now is on building a successful, sustainable business that delivers real value to our customers and grows steadily. That said, I recognize that an exit is an important consideration for investors. While I’m open to various possibilities-whether it’s an acquisition, IPO, or strategic partnership-my immediate priority is scaling the business and maximizing its potential. As we grow, I’m confident that the right exit opportunities will present themselves naturally.
@BrettFoxstartupceo2 ай бұрын
I get the idea that you're going for. However, I'm in the "less is more camp". I'd just stick to "I'm focused on building a great company." The second you start talking about an exit at an early stage, you're playing with fire.

Thanks for the video. I would like to extend the answer about competing with Google and Facebook. Fighting till I die is good to show the spirit of the startup but an investor may take it as a lack of strategy. We should supplement this sentiment with a clear strategy how my startup can still win. This is actually hard and unique for every startup.

Question on "What Valuation for This Round. Can the startup answer this trick question by stating categorically, I ran our numbers and I need $20, $30 or $X Millions to execute for the next 18 months, what is the amount going to cost me in equity?
@BrettFoxstartupceo Жыл бұрын
It's an unanswerable question because the market (potential investors) will determine how much equity they demand in return for giving you the equity. And, as painful as it is to hear, the answer in many cases is there is no amount of equity worth giving you the money you need.

@@daringilstrapscm6348 It comes down to this: 100 to 1. That's the number of face to face meetings an investor will take potential investments before investing in one startup. Investors are trying to figure out who to give money to based on a small amount of interaction. It's hard to do well. So they can develop tells that help them recognize who will be a good partner to work with.
