Investment Conference (Photo credit: Salmaan Taseer)
Here they are:
1. We see a lot of ideas, all the time, week in and week out. Most say, if you make an investment in our company, we'll really be able to make progress on all fronts. Some say, we haven't had much money to date, but look at what we have been able to achieve with little money in a small amount of time. People that can make progress without money tend to be the ones who make the most progress when they have money.
2. Our scope and interests are limited. We focus our plans on stage of investment, types of technology and specific geography. We win by staying close to our plans. We won't make an exception for you because any off plan successes are considered luck. Any off plan failures make us look stupid.
3. Market timing can be the most important factor in success. More important than management or product. Again, not all the time is this true. But, if you're late, we are likely to consider it game over.
4. We're in a hurry to produce returns but not necessarily in a hurry to invest as we need to be careful. Careful in a number of ways including your idea, team and timing. Your need for the money right now isn't often a factor in our investment process. Repeating that you need the money now frequently, doesn't change that.
5. Sometimes, you may need to consider that your storyline needs to change. What you focus on in the pitch is important to proper interpretation. Commonly, people emphasize the product over the market and the team over the business. We are investing in the business that will be derived from a market.
Blogs are so informative where we get lots of information on any topic. Nice job keep it up!!
