In this video, we’re going to look at what you should never say to an investor. Things that will make them walk away - investment killing statements!
We have a full team of experienced investors that have done hundreds of investments each and said no to even more investments. We did a big brainstorm and then voted to find the worst walk-away statements and made a list of the Top 9 worst statements!
Make sure you watch the video so you don’t lose an investment because of something that is in this video.
The investor panel is:
Olga Maslikhova, General Partner, Mercer Ventures and Angel investor
Suranga Chandratillake, General Partner at Balderton Capital
Paul St John, Angel Investor Ex-Github

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

I am a sole founder I'm ready to go it alone, And I hired my team only a single day ago, I'll build up quick, For a speedy flip, But were closing in an hour so I need your okay to go. It's not that I don't trust you but please sign this NDA, My idea is so wonderful it'll really make your day, We don't need a sales team, Our product it does scream, All we need is your money and we'll be on our way. There is no chance of competition, So brilliant there can't be repetition, We've made fusion in a cube, And cured cancer too, Now we're onto warp speed awaiting extradition.

Really awesome video! Great to hear directly from actual investors what they think. Nothing surprising here but I'd underline the "quick flip" advice - investors are looking for companies that can become HUGE and the founders are in it for the long game. So while most investors are probably looking to get their money back with 10-100x multiplier after 5-7 years, a founder who thinks they'll make a quick exit after 2-3 years doesn't sound committed to building something big.

Thank you for this helpful content. I believe I lost an investors interest when asking for too little of an investment. My tech start up didn't require a lot of start up capital,so I thought. So, the investor was turned off because he was seeking to invest in companies with a minimum of 1 M. I was only asking for 50k. Oh snd yes,I always would ask my attorney,patent search person,tech developer and investors to sign an NDA and a non-compete agreement. Thanks for the lesson.

Putting myself in their potential shoes makes me feel a bit empathetic for all the different types of people they likely have to navigate and manage. “I just need a check and we’re ready to go!!” Jeez … seriously?!!

The NDA thing is interesting. How much time does it take to sign one. It's like their saying feel good about your idea but not to good. The guy even said it's multiple people with the same ideas. Wouldn't that make more sense to keep details that would separate your product private. Are they waiting for a better pitch of the same product to come along so they can use the previous people's ideas? The whole idea is a contridiction.

Yesterday I was pitched the genuinely worst startup pitch I have ever heard. It started off well but when we asked about why he wanted to be a founder, he said that it was because life got flipped, turned upside-down, and I'd like to take a minute - just sit right there - and I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air. In West Philadelphia born and raised. In the playground was where I spent most of my days. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool, shooting some b-ball outside of the school. Then a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood! I got in one little fight and my mom got scared. Mom she said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"

Being involved in the entertainment industry and having a law firm represent me, they are 1000% dead set adamant on us not opening our mouths or showing ANYTHING to ANYONE without an NDA signed. Which is 100% against the convictions the investors in this video expressed.

I think a lot of the so-called investors are too amateurish. It’s amateur behavior not to protect IP and it’s very amateur to expect creators (including tech founders) not to take their IP protection seriously. Any serious investor should appreciate a founder being professional and responsible enough to want an NDA. The investor refusal for the NDA, speaks more about the investor than the founder. Most investors are not a good fit.

This is so helpful. Getting ready to raise for my second venture, but this time it’s to purchase an existing company. The founder passed away a couple years ago and it’s been running on cruise control since. Revenue is down drastically, but they have 20 years of solid numbers before she passed. I’ve never heard a personal story of someone raising to buy an established company that needs someone to step in, and am wondering what this perspective might look like to investors?

Hello, fantastic video! I would love to ask you guys about 1 thing. I with my colleagues are preparing a lot of information and strategy before starting investment meetings and the thing is we believe we have very beautiful and strong strategy which could lead us into multi million if not billion worths company in game market, the thing is we do not have a specific product which we can present, but we have some IPs from small developers with which we want to work on. So my question is: is it possible to achieve positive results if we have strong strategy and vision without ready product/prototype product?

Would it be effective to explosure a role for the investor(other than giving money) , that they could handle, like an advisor position about strategies and such. Having a seat empty, that will be filled by the investor not to make the project work but to make it work better with the superpower(which is not the money only) of investor, would that sound good or will it feel weak to need such a thing ?

As an advisor I would say yes, as a full time employee usually not.

Hello, thanks for posting your tips. Stupid question: Is "startup" synonymous with "app idea"? I cannot find any advice for pitching any other type of idea. Thanks.

What are thoughts on siblings as co-founders? I need a co-founder and strong team, but also an investor. I don't have others near me that would be good for cofounders, so I would need to meet one. How long should new people work together before approaching investors?

Thanks I would use similar strategies as when looking for a tech co-founder. Please check my How to find a Co-Founder video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moS9dnqonNCNjKs I would look at business schools and see if you find somebody.

They're having situations where adventure copper firm decided to build the same product of the company they were helping I think I read about five or more different scenarios later stuff sitting there and talking about trust investors and knots some kind of stuff evident he might be in someone else they're just like us they will take your idea if they want to so we have the right to trust not to trust them
