Karen talks about how to Pitch to Angel Investors. Whether pitching to 1 or 20 investors, it is important to ensure your message resonates with the investor. You may only have one chance to make a positive first impression with that investor. This broadcast covers the following topics: - 5 common mistakes entrepreneurs make when pitching investors - What is important to cover when you only have 7-10 minutes to present; and - Shifting the Paradigm of “selling equity”.  Also covered in this broadcast is how you set up a meeting with a subjective investor as part of an entrepreneur’s initial round of financing, and then how to expand to “objective investors” who are in a business of investing.

The power point presentation “The Money Hunt - Pitching Angel Investors” follows this recording, although it isn’t an exact match because it was created after the recording and was expanded as part of the education we offered at CEO Space 9-08.   Used together, they compliment the key message of providing clarity to entrepreneurs regarding the sometimes confusing world of connecting with investors.
