I've been an angel investor for over 30 years and collected data on over 200 companies looking for seed capital where, in each case, I saw the CEO make his or her full presentation and answer questions.  I collected information on about 30 elements of their pitch and stored them all in a database.  I tracked each company to see which ones were successful with their financing and how long it took them.  I then used my background in statistical analysis to identify the top 5 factors that most reliably predicted who would get the funding they were asking for. 

 

I created a statistically significant model I can share with you that will give you a sense of how you compare to other companies that have successfully raised money.  All you need to do is fill out the "Contact Us" tab above and schedule a time for us to talk.  There is no cost.  I will ask you to self score yourself on the description of each factor.  The process takes about 15 minutes.

.  

The key elements in the model are:

1. Is your concept truly solving a large and important problem in a novel way?

2. Do you have a team that knows how to deliver results?

3. Can you prove customers need your product?

4. Do you understand the economics of your business model?

5. How much money have you invested in your company and how much you think its worth today?

​

If you are not ready, and many companies are not, then this model will help you understand what you

should be doing to make your company a more attractive investment.  You only get one chance to make a first impression.
