I’ve just started hitting the investor circuit. More so dabbling in it.
Start easy and make profiles on gust.com and angel.co Then, make a pitch deck. Most investors will want to see a quick pitch to determine if they’re interested in talking further.
The best way to meet investors is to network. Just keep asking for introductions from connections.
I started looking at venture because I want to find an investor that has a value add in addition to capital. There are a lot of big good corporations spinning off venture arms so they can help budding businesses grow (and eventually buy them). In my industry, there’s a lot I don’t know. And having an investor(s) that can help me navigate the confusing world of grocery and make introductions can be just as valuable as their money.
I sent off emails to Kellogg’s and Campbell Soup’s venture arms today. Going to tackle a few more tomorrow.
