Interview/Zheng (Gold wrong DAO channel Edit)
2015, the golden wrong DAO channel will start an entrepreneurial public welfare project-"entrepreneurial tough question and answer." The first season is the "No Money" series. Our micro-Innovation CEO Battalion Some founders said, I found it easy to find investors, the real difficulty is to find reliable investors. What is a reliable? Reliable investors not only give financial support, but also more importantly bring resources to help, whether it is business operations or follow-on financing, they will spare no effort to advise and advise. It is particularly important to find a reliable investor in the burgeoning mobile entrepreneurial army and the frenzied influx of capital markets.
@ Cheng Poem: I am the education O2O entrepreneur, the company is in the start-up stage, the Angel Round fund mainly uses in the product development and the development teacher resources, is anxious to look for a round financing. I went to Zhongguancun Chuangye Street to stroll around, contact many well-known or unknown investors and investment institutions, they are in the shareholding ratio and support policy on a variety of attractive conditions. Due to my lack of financing experience, coupled with the hidden rules of the creation of investment circle is not very understanding, contact with the feeling can not find north. My biggest wish is to stop the flicker, do not spend money to find a reliable investor, quickly finalize a round of financing, how to break?
Gao Xiaohu (Investment Director, Innovation Workshop) said:
1, do not value the reputation of investors, do not value investors at that moment to your enthusiasm (many investors business background, to fix you a piece of cake), mainly to see the terms, the actual speed of money and service levels. The latter two you are not good to judge, can randomly select two or three investors in the past investment projects, to find the CEO in-depth chat. Entrepreneurs are going to be entrepreneurs who really know the investor.
2, look at the investor's understanding of the industry. If investors want to invest in an industry, he will certainly have in-depth analysis of the industry and research, it is because he sincerely want to vote, so he will look at the industry, so he dare to put money, because he is really want to gamble.
3, look at the resources that investors give you. These resources are best written down, let him give you a solid. Reliable investors are really going to help you introduce a lot of cow people, to help you solve problems. Here special hint: "You say that xxx ah, and I too familiar, let him pull you a" investors, you want to distinguish:
If he said "XXX" is a big guy, then this investor is generally in the use of big guy to elevate himself, the real situation may be he is not confident, he felt that he did not have the talent, so need hujiahuwei;
If he said "XXX" is the following act, and he can say a lot of, then this investor may really do for his company many practical things, such people you must cherish.
Shang (CEO of Media Dream Factory) said:
Investors are important partners in the entrepreneurial path, not only to provide funds, but also to provide assistance, so we must choose and entrepreneurial team in the direction of the development of resources to provide investors.
It is recommended that you first ask your angel investors for advice, they can provide important advice and help, make good and hard use of your angel investors, giving the project a free consultant is also one of the duties of angel investors. Second, prepare a clear business plan A, to ensure that the development of clear ideas, this is the next stage of your external efficient exchange of the foundation, first want to clear communication ideas and then prepare how to speak clearly.
If you personally lead the financing, it is recommended that you first through the investment Circle professional information sites, such as it oranges, understand which investors and investment institutions interest, style and your entrepreneurial approach, do your homework, and then targeted to actively contact and communicate. Can interview a few with your counterpart investment organization, as long as the other side is professional, even if not cast also can let you get some valuable industry information and information, to help you improve ideas and ideas, you can also understand investors look at the angle of the problem.
Of course, investors are mixed, good investors whether or not investment will be selfless to give a lot of advice and help, bad investors light their own do not know to pretend to be forced to comment, waste each other's time, heavy cliches to learn and even steal mode.
Negotiating with investors is the process of choosing each other, not putting yourself too high when communicating, but not being too low. I think it's important for both sides to fit in and select the investors who are speculating with you.
Yuntao (founder of E Jia Jie) said:
1, contact the previous Angel stage contact but did not vote for your investors. Like our B-turn to get Tencent investment, in fact, as early as Dudu car rental era has been with the Tencent industry win the fund to establish good relations, although the team did not get the investment, but next time you have new progress, they will still be full of interest. Once two back to ripe, the second trust is significantly stronger than the first time.
2, through the media PR let investors find you. I have never been to Zhongguancun Business Street or café to contact investors, giving people a sense of wild road. At the outset, I spent a lot of time contacting the tech media Circle friends and chatting with them about the E Home cleaning project, which made them interested in reporting for us, each of which would attract interested investors. In our fundraising experience, investors who are based on interest are more likely to get an investment than the investors they are actively contacting.
3, let investors introduce investors, or directly to the FA. One of our early investors was introduced by Jingwei, although the first Jingwei venture partner is not optimistic about E home Jie, but Jingwei an investment manager that we have room for growth, so the E home Jie introduced to other investors.
