After pitching an investor, you may be asking yourself: Is this VC interested or not? Reading VC interest in your startup can be tricky. In this Dreamit Dose, Managing Partner Steve Barsh offers pro tips for founders on how to tell if an investor is interested in your startup. The topic is related to questions like: How do I close a VC deal? How do you close an investor? How to follow-up after an investor meeting? After your pitch, listen carefully for the questions you’re asked and next steps proposed. Often, those items will signal how VCs judge your startup and is the investor interested? If they’re not compelled to move forward immediately, taking this approach will cut through formalities so you can find out what you need to accomplish to gain their interest. That’s key in understanding how to close the deal with a venture capitalist. Here are 4 ways to know when an investor is over you or genuinely interested by just reading your VC pitching meeting. That’s how to gauge investor interest in your startup in a short 5-minute Dreamit Dose!

Great video series! Everything in this video is all correct but stand up investors give entrepreneurs the courtesy of speedy replies and honest feedback. As a founder, you want a VC to invest in your business with conviction, not a VC who is okay with putting their potential investment in limbo to keep their options open and effectively waste your time. If they don’t get serious fast, I would suggest moving on or circling back in your next round of financing. The venture capital market is getting more and more saturated and the capital VC’s raise from LP’s needs to be deployed (yes, VC’s have to raise money just like you do). Strong founding teams who have identified large opportunities with a great product/market fit are scarce. If you have your house in order, finding capital is the least challenging thing you face. If raising capital is really difficult, ask VCs to answer honestly why they passed and you will likely see very similar answers from them. That is free advice you can use to improve things.
Subscribed. Right video and right time
Glad you found it helful. Thx for watching.
Appreciate the advice. Concise and pragmatic.
Great content.
Glad you liked it. Thx for watching!
Your videos are always super useful, thank you very much for all the hard work and thought to put it together.
Great videos ! I'd love to see a video on early exits, ie exits pre-revenue vs raising next round to grow.
Thanks for watching. Let me put a think on that and see if we could build a Dose around that.
Another great one!
Good stuff!
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!
THANKYOUUUUU!!
Is it inappropriate to ask Angel investors to sign NDAs prior to the pitch?
Do you have a lead? What does that mean? It can not be lead as in potential customer, since one single lead is not that important, you can find single lead (not even a single buyer) even for crappy product.
Do you have a lead investor, not a single sale lead🤗
@@Fairvalues thanks, finally understood after a year :)
