What Investors Look For
An important problem and a clear view of who pays for the solution; science that is reproducible; intellectual property that protects the product; a plan with milestones that reduce risk; a team able to deliver it; and a sensible amount of capital to reach the next value point.
Building the Materials
The investment thesis and narrative; the pitch deck; the financial model and use-of-funds plan; and a data room with the science, the intellectual property, the agreements and the corporate records. Each should tell the same story at a different depth.
Entering Negotiations From Strength
We prepare founders for diligence and term sheet negotiation, make introductions to investors where the fit is right, and help develop strategic partnerships that can run alongside a financing.
