Seven questions entrepreneurs should ask investors

Posted on by Tim Rosenblatt

Great post from Bradford Cross over at Measuring Measures on questions that entrepreneurs should ask VCs and angels (video no longer available) when looking for funding. I'll reproduce the bullet points here, and let you jump to his blog for the expansion of ideas.

  1. Are you aligned with [ insert company goal here ]?
  2. What can you do for us?
  3. How are you going to act during drawdowns and pivots?
  4. How are you going to act when we are fielding inbound acquisition offers?
  5. Do you focus more on people, or more on market?
  6. Are you looking at us independently?
  7. What are the terms?

Pitch on, entrepreneurs. Pitch on.
