$1.67/min per minuteNew ArrivalGetting in Front of Angel Investors and Be Ready for ItOzan Sonmez (Angel Investor to Early Stage Global Startups & Global Accelerator Builder/Advisor/Mentor) • San FranciscoCreated 5 years ago in Funding / Venture CapitalThere are rookie mistakes that you can make when you are getting ready to pitch to angel investors and one of them is not understanding the WIIFM (What's in it for me). Angel Investors don't only look for multiples of return like VC's are mandated to. They are looking for deeper connections and want to offer more to the hearing ear and careful eye. My advice is not going to teach you how you can 'trick' the investors, go find a con-man for this. I'll guide you to genuinely build a relationship and keep it with Angels even if they don't fund this idea.Ozan Sonmez (Angel Investor to Early Stage Global Startups & Global Accelerator Builder/Advisor/Mentor) San FranciscoNew Arrival
