Although many startups focus on perfecting their concept, the idea itself is one of the least weighted factors considered by investors. Startup investors listen to pitches constantly, and while they are presented with many \u201cgreat ideas,\u201d very few entrepreneurs walk away with a deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fundable.com\/learn\/resources\/infographics\/startup-funding-infographic\" target=\"_blank\">Studies show<\/a>\u00a0that venture capitalists only fund 0.05 percent of startups, while angel investors fund as little as 0.91 percent.

With a bit of know-how and the right preparation, you can significantly improve your chances of impressing an investor from the very first meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You only get one chance to make a great first impression. Before you approach an investor, here are five mandatory things you must do to maximize your chances of walking away with a deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> One of the greatest considerations for an investor is whether the team behind the concept has the experience to build it to success. There have been many cases in which inept teams have tanked awesome businesses. Conversely, there are also many instances where great teams have achieved phenomenal success with an average idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Launching and running a business takes tremendous effort. The strength and experience of your team will determine how rapidly your startup will grow, if at all. Building a team comprised of several experienced individuals with complementary skills is critical to any startup \u2013 especially if that startup is seeking to make a deal with an investor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"482\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ANC-Demo-Day-1024x482.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-258 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ANC-Demo-Day-1024x482.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ANC-Demo-Day-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ANC-Demo-Day-768x362.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ANC-Demo-Day-1536x723.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ANC-Demo-Day-1200x565.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ANC-Demo-Day.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/482;\" \/><figcaption>ANC Startup Accelerator Program Hand Book<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t wait until you\u2019re in front of investors to realize that your team is falling short of a few skills. Instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Thoroughly analyze your business and identify exactly what skills and experiences are necessary to succeed<\/li><li>Then, evaluate your team. Consider what skills are present, and which are lacking with your current team<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Before setting up your first meeting, develop a solid team that has the exact composition of experience needed to prevail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Develop an awesome pitch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have collected all the stats that matter, you\u2019ll need to create a pitch that explains exactly&nbsp;<em>why<\/em>&nbsp;they matter. Your pitch should be concise but detailed; informative but persuasive; and most of all, memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pitch you create should detail the story of your business \u2013 who the market is, what problems they face, what your solution is, and why your solution is the&nbsp;<em>right<\/em>&nbsp;solution. It should also describe why you have the&nbsp;<em>right team<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>right product<\/em>&nbsp;(through product validation) and the&nbsp;<em>right strategy<\/em>&nbsp;to move it to the next level of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8111-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-260 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8111-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8111-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8111-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8111-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8111-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8111-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8111-1980x1320.jpg 1980w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption>Anico Media at the ANC Pitch Day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Compliment your pitch with a standout&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/startupnation.com\/start-your-business\/b2b-pitch-deck-good-great\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pitch deck<\/a>. A strong pitch deck may be necessary to generate investor interest before the initial meeting. During your investor meeting, however, your deck will give your pitch more personality, help the audience follow along, and illustrate your startup as you deliver your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always remember that some investors hear multiple pitches every day. In order for you to stand out, you need to be\u00a0<em>better<\/em>\u00a0than the other startups they have met with. This means having a stronger team, more notable achievements, better validation and a more scalable product. In order to\u00a0<em>be<\/em>\u00a0the best, you must\u00a0<em>beat<\/em>\u00a0the best; and when it comes to securing funding, it all starts with the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know your investor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The day of your pitch may be the first time you actually meet the investor, but you should already be extremely familiar with their backgrounds. Knowing&nbsp;<em>who&nbsp;<\/em>you are pitching is almost as important as knowing&nbsp;<em>what<\/em>&nbsp;you are pitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing research on your audience before pitching them gives you a tremendous advantage. If your startup is in the same space as previous startups they have invested in, this may be a good sign that your business would be a good fit for their portfolio. You may find that they typically invest in startups in a specific industry or at a specific growth stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Striking a deal isn\u2019t just about presenting an awesome business, it\u2019s about finding the perfect startup-investor partnership. The more you know about the investor before the pitch, the better you will be able to optimize your pitch for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8311-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-261 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8311-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8311-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8311-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8311-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8311-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8311-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_8311-1980x1320.jpg 1980w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption>ANC Pitch Day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, you may be able to find videos of startups that have pitched them successfully in the past.
