One of the major challenges that Entrepreneurs face in establishing a company is to look for investors. These slides present a brief overview of the challenges that these entrepreneurs face while looking for investors and the points they need to keep in mind before approaching the investors. The risks that they might face and the precautions they need to take have also been mentioned.

1. Looking for Investors

2. • One of the major challenges that
Entrepreneurs face in establishing a company
is to look for investors.
• Investors who share the same flavour as they
and who’re ready to invest in their ideas.
• Investors would want to invest in your
companies if they find your idea promising
and if you meet the requirements they have in
mind.

3. What kind of investor looks for what?
• Investors look at the companies from the
perspective of the extent of establishment.
• Angel Investors usually provide the seed fund
required or the initial round of investment.
• Venture Capitalists fund companies that are
eyeing expansion, those whose seed funds have
exhausted and are looking for their second round
of investment.
• Entrepreneurs ought to keep this in mind when
they approach Investors and act accordingly.

4. Before approaching an Investor, what?
• Investors don’t just invest in ideas that appear
grand and out of the box, but are looking for solid
returns on their investments in the next 3 to 5
years.
• How you present yourself to the investor plays a
key role in getting the Investor’s nod.
• Emphasis ought to be laid on the way the
Investor’s money is going to be spent and the
prospective monetary rewards that the
Investments would be getting in the near future
rather than trying to sound passionate about
your idea and going on and on about that.

5. Careful, it the stake of your company
that is at stake!
• Make sure you approach the Investor keeping
in mind the fields he’s looking to invest in.
• Entrepreneurs also need to make sure that
they don’t part away with a major stake thus
compromising on their hold over the
company.
• Investments from multiple investors often
pose this risk but a check can still be kept on
the stake sold.

6. • Finding the right kind of investor is very much
important to get the right beginning for your
startup company.
• The kick start that you give the company
would play a major role in determining the
direction that the company would be heading.
And following the simple mentioned above
would increase your chances of getting
funded.
