Building a Moat Into a Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startups in the early days have little to protect the business beyond intellectual property. As the company grows, the startup can build a stronger moat. Here are some key steps for building a moat into a startup: Network effects -- grow the network within your customer base to strengthen the business. Design the product and the marketing to connect others to the customer base. Platforms -- design a platform into the solution offered. A platform brings reduced cost and greater capabilities versus one-off products. Integrate with partners -- use APIs and other technical connections to create a seamless solution for customers. Integrations add value and are difficult to compete against. Bundle products -- package several services into a single product. Through bundling, one creates a better solution that appeals to a broader audience. Long-term sales contracts -- signing long-term contracts provides a moat. Customers who want to switch will find it costly, and competitors will get tired of waiting for the customer to come back to the table. Proprietary data -- data that is unique to the business adds value. Unique data can be mined for additional products and services. Brand -- build a brand that provides a unique promise to the customer. Brands take time to build but can provide an additional moat for the company. Consider these steps in building a moat into your startup. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

How To Build a Capital-Efficient Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investors look for capital-efficient businesses to invest in. Founders looking to raise funding should first consider building a capital-efficient startup. Here are some key steps to building a startup that is capital-efficient: Look for a business opportunity that generates good revenue from the customer. The customer will pay a high price for the product. This often comes from a good product-to-market fit. The business runs efficiently and doesn't need a great deal of money to provide the product or service. Businesses in this category are considered frugal and spend carefully. Salaries are kept low, which raises the value of the equity of the business. The startup is in a high-growth market segment generating organic growth. The startup is highly scalable and doesn't need a great deal of capital to grow. Capital-efficient businesses in the long run should do better because they don't have to raise capital as often. Investors should look for these drivers in potential startup investments. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Key Sales Metrics To Look For Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In reviewing startups, here are the key metrics investors should look for: Annual contract value -- the value the customer spends on the product in one year. This needs to be a meaningful amount of money in order to grow a startup. Customer lifetime value -- the total amount of money the customer spends on the product. This indicates how well the product meets the customer's needs. Sales pipeline -- the number and revenue value of sales prospects. This shows ongoing demand for the product from new customers. Conversion rate -- this shows how many leads turn into sales. This needs to be a known figure so as to calculate how many leads to generate to meet a sales goal. Sales team turnover -- this shows how long sales reps stay with a company. This shows how many salespeople need to be recruited and trained. Referrals -- shows how many leads come from partner channels. This shows how many partners need to be recruited and trained. Customer retention -- this shows how long customers use the product. This determines how many new customers need to be recruited. The goal of metrics is to define the current business model so it can be tuned to operate efficiently. Look to see how well defined these metrics are for a potential startup investment. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Lars Amend war Lifestyle Journalist, traf internationale Superstars und lebte ein Leben, das von außen betrachtet erfolgreich wirkte. Doch irgendwann merkte er, dass Erfolg allein nicht die Antworten auf die wirklich wichtigen Fragen liefert.In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Identität, Sinn, Selbstwert und die Suche nach dem, was im Leben wirklich zählt. Lars erzählt offen von seiner bewegenden Geschichte mit seiner Mutter, die er auf ihrem letzten Weg begleitet hat, von alten Verletzungen, Vergebung und der Erkenntnis, dass jeder Mensch die Welt durch seine eigene Geschichte betrachtet.Außerdem sprechen wir über Erfolg, Selbstoptimierung, die Bedeutung von Beziehungen, warum wir unsere Eltern nicht verändern können und weshalb echte Erfüllung oft dort entsteht, wo wir etwas einfach um der Sache selbst willen tun.

How To Get the Most out of a Pitch Session Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. For those setting up a pitch session, here are the key steps so the presenter and investor get the most out of it. Decide the goal of the pitch session. This could be providing practice for the presenter, or giving feedback on the pitch, or making an investment decision. Determine the criteria for selecting the presenters. Recruit startup presenters who meet the criteria. Set up an agenda for who will pitch and how long. Provide documentation upfront about the pitches, including the deck or executive summaries. Set aside time for general questions after each pitch. Set expectations about what will be covered in the pitches and what will not. Encourage questions that drive to the goal of the pitch session. Discourage questions and feedback that distract from the goal. Set aside time for one-on-one discussions between the investors and the presenters. Make available the presenters' contact information.

Fundraising Is a Sales Process Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Fundraising is a sales process. Consider these steps in setting up your fundraiser: First, build the investor documents, including pitch deck, terms sheet, and data room. In fundraising, you are selling equity in your company. This is the same as a brochure or data sheet for your product. Second, build a list of prospective investors to pursue. Just as you have an ideal customer profile for selling your product, so you also have an ideal investor profile. Search for investors that fit your ideal profile. Third, research your investor prospects to learn more about them. Fourth, make initial contact with the investor. Update them on your fundraiser. Fifth, and most importantly, follow up to check interest Answer their questions and update them on your progress. Sixth, identify your best investor prospects and move to close. It takes seven touches to close a sale so it takes seven touches to close an investor. Seventh, review the characteristics of the investors who came in to learn more about how you found them, where they hang out, and what they wanted. This will inform your process on how to find more investors. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Product Launch Strategy Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso—your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Founders often mistake their pitch deck for their product launch strategy. But the two serve different goals. The pitch is meant to raise capital — the launch is meant to earn trust. A strong product launch strategy doesn't just announce features. It builds a narrative: who it's for, what it solves, and why it matters now. The best launches create momentum by aligning messaging, channel, and timing. Savvy founders build launch strategies in layers: — First, define the minimum viable message. — Next, build social proof and use cases. — Then, plan waves of release — from insider demos to public unveilings. Launch isn't a moment. It's a sequence. The most common mistake? Using the investor pitch template for customer activation. Investors want vision and scale. Customers want relevance and clarity. Don't confuse one for the other. Plan your product launch with intent. Make every stage of rollout a proof point — not just of what you built, but of how well you understand the market.

Finding an Investor Is Like Finding a Date Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Founders looking for investors face the same challenge as those looking for a date. Just as in the dating world, both the investor and the startup exaggerate their strengths. Some don't know exactly what they want from the other. Just as there are marriage contracts, the startup world has term sheets. A substantial number of startups don't succeed, just as many marriages do not. Drawing from the world of dating, one becomes more successful the more they know what they want. Founders should figure out what they want from the investor. This includes not only funding, but also follow-on funding, mentorship, and networking. Next, look for where to find investors that meet the criteria. Specialize in how to talk to these particular investors. Finally, figure out what they are looking for and how to present your startup. Just as it takes time to find the right date, so it will take time to find the right investor. Consider the dating game as a model to find your investor.

Common Mistakes With Investor Introductions Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Founders raising funding need introductions to investors. Here are some common mistakes introducers make with investor introductions. Lack of information Most founders ask for an introduction but fail to provide enough information for the introducer to make a meaningful introduction. It's best to include some context in the request. Lack of a ready-to-mail email. Many founders would do well to provide the introducer a ready-to-mail email. This contains the relevant information, including why there's an introduction. Make sure to write the email in the voice of the introducer and include an appropriate subject line. Slow follow-up to an introduction. After the investor responds to the email introduction, it's important to follow up in a timely manner. Waiting a day or two can degrade the introduction as the recipient may have forgotten that an introduction was made. Not returning the favor. Asking someone to make an introduction and then not returning the favor could degrade the relationship with the introducer. It's important to pay it back. Consider these points in making an investor introduction. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Hiring the Team for Your Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. After fundraising comes building the team. The core team may already be in place, but growth will demand new hires. Here are some key points in hiring the team for your startup: Have your high-performing team members interview new candidates. The high performers tend to hold others to their standard. They are more likely to be frank about a candidate's abilities. Where did they work before? Does it have a reputation for quality and professionalism? Check their thinking ability. Give them a problem and ask them to articulate out loud their thought process in solving it. Give them a task and check their speed of execution. Does it match the pace of the company? Review their past experiences to see how that has shaped them. Check their interest in the company and dig into why they want to work there. Is it only a paycheck, or is there a deeper reason? Consider these steps in hiring the team for your startup. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Una nuova escalation tra Iran e Stati Uniti ha contraddistinto la prima parte della giornata di oggi nello Stretto di Hormuz. Le Guardie rivoluzionarie iraniane hanno annunciato di aver lanciato un attacco contro una base aerea americana in Medio Oriente da cui, secondo Teheran, sarebbero scattati i raid statunitensi condotti poche ore prima nell'area strategica del Golfo Persico.

Starting With the Beachhead Market Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investors look for large target markets that are growing well. Founders looking to launch a startup often look for huge problems to solve. Since startups are limited in their resources, they must find a way to solve a large problem with few people and products. One solution to this problem is to identify a beachhead market. Look for a niche in the market that needs the solution. Ideally, this niche can become the beachhead market. This initial market must be readily accessible to the founders. They must know players in this space and have access to them for feedback. While the beachhead market may not be the biggest market, it should be one of the easiest to take over. After securing the beachhead market, the startup can pursue bigger markets adjacent to it. The beachhead market validates the problem and utilizes the startup's solution. This provides revenue to the startup to launch and grow the business. Look to solve a problem in a large market, but focus on the beachhead market for entry into it.

How To Scale a Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In the early days of a startup, the founder seeks to build and sell a product. In the later days, the founder seeks to scale the business. Here are several ways to scale a startup: Raise funding to fuel the scaling strategy. This could be a substantial amount of funding to achieve the growth target. Apply technology to the operations to minimize the cost of running the business. This could also bring access to new markets and applications. Pivot to a higher level in the industry, providing services at a higher price. Build related products and services to further monetize the client base. Remove low-volume products and services that don't scale. This frees up resources to apply to the high-volume products. Reorganize the startup to run with fewer resources. Automate as many functions as possible, such as accounting, customer service, support, and more. This reduces the cost and allows the company to scale as fast as sales can grow. Consider these points for scaling your startup. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

How To Write a Press Release for Your Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Press releases can help the startup gain exposure in the marketplace. This helps recruit employees, find customers, and attract investors. Founders can do this upon closing a round of funding. Here are the steps to write a press release for your startup: Start with a compelling headline that motivates the audience to read further. Describe in the first paragraph the content you want every reader to have. In most cases, this will be all that they read. Create a standard paragraph explaining what the business does. This can be reused in future releases. Include quotes from the founder on the mission and values of the company. Add visuals such as photos of the team. Action pictures are more interesting than posed pictures. Add links to the website and other relevant information. Include enough information that a journalist can tie your press release to a current story. Finally, add your contact details and include the name and phone number of someone the reader can contact for more information.

Quando si pensa all'Italia, il caffè è tra le prime cose che vengono in mente. Ma come è arrivato in Italia? Perché gli italiani lo bevono così? E perché, se ordini «un caffè» in un bar italiano, ti arriva sempre e solo un espresso? In questo articolo scoprirai tutta la storia del caffè in Italia — dalle origini africane fino alla moka — e imparerai il vocabolario e le curiosità che ti faranno fare un'ottima figura con gli italiani. Non è italiano! Tutta la verità sul CAFFÈ 1. Le Origini del Caffè: un Viaggio Lunghissimo Oggi il caffè sembra italianissimo — quasi come se fosse nato tra le colline della Toscana o nei vicoli di Napoli. Ma la verità è un'altra: il caffè non è italiano, almeno non all'inizio. Le origini del caffè si trovano probabilmente in Etiopia, in Africa. Esiste una leggenda che racconta di un pastore di nome Kaldi, che un giorno notò qualcosa di strano: le sue capre, dopo aver mangiato alcune bacche rosse di una pianta particolare, non riuscivano più a dormire la notte — erano iperattive, quasi euforiche. Kaldi assaggiò quelle bacche, le portò a dei monaci, e da lì cominciò tutto. Dalla penisola arabica — soprattutto dallo Yemen — il caffè si diffuse rapidamente. Nel mondo arabo nacquero i primi luoghi pubblici dove si beveva caffè, si discuteva di politica, si facevano affari, si raccontavano storie: i precursori dei nostri bar. Il caffè era già un fatto sociale ancora prima di arrivare in Europa. 2. Il Caffè Arriva in Italia Il caffè arrivò in Italia intorno al XVI e XVII secolo, grazie ai commerci tra Venezia e l'Impero Ottomano. Venezia, in quel periodo, era uno dei centri commerciali più importanti d'Europa — la porta tra Oriente e Occidente. Ed è proprio da quella porta che entrò il caffè. Ma all'inizio non tutti erano contenti di questa novità. Alcune persone lo consideravano una bevanda sospetta, straniera, persino pericolosa. C'erano voci che lo definivano «la bevanda del diavolo». Secondo una storia molto popolare, fu Papa Clemente VIII a risolvere la questione: assaggiò il caffè, gli piacque molto, e lo "benedisse" ufficialmente. Da quel momento, nessuno poteva più dire che fosse una bevanda del diavolo — se lo beve il Papa, va bene per tutti. Nel Seicento aprirono le prime botteghe del caffè, che erano molto più di semplici bar: erano luoghi di incontro, di cultura, di discussione. Artisti, scrittori, filosofi, commercianti — tutti si ritrovavano lì per parlare, leggere, discutere. Bere caffè era già, da subito, un atto collettivo e sociale. 3. L'Italia Reinventa il Caffè: Nasce l'Espresso Fin qui, il caffè era semplicemente importato. Ma gli italiani non si accontentano: devono sempre migliorare le cose. Alla fine dell'Ottocento e all'inizio del Novecento, l'Italia fece qualcosa di rivoluzionario: inventò un modo completamente nuovo di preparare il caffè. Grazie all'uso della pressione del vapore, si riuscì a estrarre il caffè in pochi secondi, in modo rapido, concentrato, intenso. Nacque così l'espresso. L'espresso non è solo un tipo di caffè — è quasi una metafora dello stile di vita italiano: breve, intenso, e senza fronzoli. Si beve in piedi al banco, in trenta secondi, si chiacchiera un momento con il barista, e si torna alla vita. Se qualcuno offre un espresso, non bisogna aspettarsi di sedersi e sorseggiarlo per venti minuti come un tè inglese: l'espresso si beve subito, finché è ancora caldo. 4. La Moka: il Caffè Entra nelle Case Italiane Se l'espresso è il re del bar, la moka è la regina di casa. Nel 1933, un uomo di nome Alfonso Bialetti inventò un oggetto destinato a diventare iconico: la moka, quella piccola caffettiera ottagonale in alluminio che probabilmente si è vista mille volte. L'idea era geniale nella sua semplicità: l'acqua nella parte inferiore, il caffè macinato nel filtro nel mezzo, e la pressione del vapore che spinge l'acqua attraverso il caffè, facendolo salire nella parte superiore. Il risultato? Un caffè forte, profumato, fatto comodamente a casa. Con la moka, il rito del caffè entrò nelle cucine italiane. E con esso, entrarono anche tutti i momenti che ci girano intorno: aspettare che il caffè salga, sentire quel gorgoglio caratteristico, gridare in cucina «Il caffè è pronto!» Se l'espresso al bar è la pausa veloce, la moka è il momento lento — il caffè della domenica mattina, quello dopo pranzo in famiglia, quello che fa la nonna. C'è qualcosa di profondamente affettivo nella moka: non è solo uno strumento, è un oggetto carico di ricordi. Il suo nome, tra l'altro, deriva da Mokha, una città dello Yemen famosa per il commercio del caffè — un altro segno del lungo viaggio che il caffè ha fatto prima di arrivare nelle nostre case. 5. Quanti Tipi di Caffè Esistono in Italia? In Italia il caffè non è uno solo. Esistono tantissime varianti, e conoscerle permette di ordinare al bar come un vero italiano. Espresso — il caffè classico: corto, intenso, concentrato. Quando si ordina semplicemente «un caffè» in un bar italiano, arriva sempre questo. Caffè lungo — più acqua rispetto all'espresso, sapore meno concentrato. Adatto a chi preferisce un caffè meno intenso. Caffè ristretto — meno acqua dell'espresso normale, ancora più concentrato e intenso. Non è per tutti — ma chi lo ama non lo cambierebbe con niente. Caffè macchiato — un espresso con una piccola quantità di latte, solo una «macchia». Non è un cappuccino: è un espresso leggermente ammorbidito. Cappuccino — espresso con latte montato a schiuma. È il caffè tipico della colazione italiana. Attenzione: in Italia il cappuccino si beve al mattino, mai dopo pranzo. Ordinarlo nel pomeriggio o dopo cena è considerato una cosa da turisti. Marocchino — espresso con cacao in polvere e schiuma di latte. Una piccola coccola per chi ama la combinazione di caffè e cioccolato. Caffè corretto — espresso con l'aggiunta di un liquore: grappa, sambuca o brandy, a seconda dei gusti. Si dice che il liquore «corregga» il caffè — viene bevuto spesso la mattina da chi ama iniziare la giornata con un tocco in più. Caffè americano — espresso allungato con acqua calda. Più simile al caffè filtrato americano: più lungo e meno intenso rispetto all'espresso classico. Consiglio pratico: per fare colazione come un italiano, ordina un cappuccino e un cornetto. Siediti al banco, bevi veloce, e vai avanti con la giornata. Domande Frequenti Perché in Italia "Un Caffè" Significa Sempre Espresso? Perché l'espresso è diventato il caffè per antonomasia in Italia fin dalla sua invenzione a fine Ottocento. Quando si dice «un caffè» senza specificare altro, il barista capisce automaticamente che si vuole un espresso. Qualsiasi altra variante — lungo, macchiato, americano — va specificata esplicitamente. È Vero che il Cappuccino Non Si Beve dopo Pranzo in Italia? Sì, è una delle regole non scritte più radicate della cultura italiana. Gli italiani ritengono che il latte appesantisca la digestione, quindi il cappuccino — e in generale qualsiasi caffè con latte abbondante — si beve al mattino, a colazione. Dopo pranzo o cena si beve sempre e solo l'espresso. Ordinare un cappuccino nel pomeriggio non è un errore grammaticale, ma è un segnale infallibile che si è stranieri. Qual È la Differenza tra Caffè Macchiato e Cappuccino? La differenza principale sta nella quantità di latte. Il caffè macchiato è un espresso con una piccola «macchia» di latte — pochissimo, giusto per ammorbidire leggermente il sapore. Il cappuccino invece ha una quantità molto maggiore di latte montato a schiuma, che bilancia l'espresso in modo più deciso. In termini di volume, il cappuccino è circa tre volte più grande di un macchiato. Come Mai il Caffè Fu Chiamato "Bevanda del Diavolo"? Quando il caffè arrivò in Europa nel XVI e XVII secolo, era una bevanda completamente sconosciuta e di provenienza orientale. In un'epoca in cui tutto ciò che veniva dall'Oriente o che aveva effetti stimolanti era guardato con sospetto, alcuni ecclesiastici lo considerarono pericoloso e lo associarono al diavolo. Fu Papa Clemente VIII, secondo la tradizione, a eliminare questa diffidenza assaggiandolo personalmente e approvandolo — rendendo di fatto impossibile continuare a condannarlo. La Moka Si Usa Ancora nelle Case Italiane? Sì, moltissimo. Nonostante la diffusione delle macchine per il caffè in capsule, la moka rimane presente nella stragrande maggioranza delle cucine italiane. Ha un valore che va oltre il pratico: è un oggetto carico di significato affettivo e culturale, legato ai ricordi di famiglia, alle domeniche mattina, al caffè della nonna. Nel 2021 la moka Bialetti è stata addirittura inserita nella collezione permanente del MoMA di New York come esempio di design italiano iconico. La storia del caffè è lunga e ricca, così come la sua varietà.

Steps To Build an MVP Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Building an MVP is a part of almost every founder's work. Here are the key steps to build an MVP. Most founders build an MVP and then talk to users. Instead, talk to users first and then build the MVP. Take into account the users' feedback. Release the initial MVP to a set of users as soon as possible. Don't make it a major launch. The purpose of the MVP is to start a conversation with customers. Focus on speed to launch and time to feedback. Meet users to ask about their experience. Have them show you what they did with it. Take the feedback and iterate on the MVP. Create a new version and launch to a new cohort of users. Limit the time you spend on the MVP to keep the project on schedule. Reduce the scope of it in favor of reaching users for feedback. Avoid overbuilding the MVP. It's best to add to it incrementally as users give feedback. Consider these steps in building your MVP.

The Challenges of the Startup Life Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The startup life brings many challenges. It's not for the faint of heart. It will demand the best of you and will test you often. Here are some key challenges in the startup life: Most founders have co-founders to deal with. Maintaining the relationship is tantamount to having a marriage. This will stretch one's communication and relationship skills. Startups require the founder to be all in Founders are not part-timers. This means giving up other things in return for the startup work. The startup will go through highs and lows. The founder will go through all the emotions associated with the roller coaster ride. Time will pass quickly as startups are long-term endeavors. It's amazing how fast the years will roll by. The startup life is one long series of processes and to-dos. There's nothing romantic about it. Not everyone you meet will have experienced the startup life and will fail to understand your situation. It can often be lonely. For those who persist, it will be one of the most rewarding experiences. Consider these points before engaging in a startup.

Finding New Startup Ideas Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. When finding new startup ideas, start with your own interests in mind. Look for solutions to problems or challenges you face. Here are the steps to finding new startup ideas from your own experiences: Choose a problem that is a major pain point. Skip the casual problems that generate solutions in the nice-to-have category. Research the problem to find out how to solve it. There's often more than one way, so it's best to consider all options. Develop a solution that solves the problem well. It should be effective and efficient. Build out a solution and test it to see how well it works. Show it to others for feedback and questions. This often enhances the solution and provides ideas for naming and marketing the product. Next, look for a distribution channel. Test out the channel to see how much others will pay for it. It's often the case that the solution is not a standalone product but could work as part of another solution. Consider how best to package, price, and distribute it. At this point, one can calculate if there's a business case or not for taking it to market.

The hipster barista and the Chinese-owned bar both shed light on the changing nature of Italian coffee culture.

Choux au craquelin is a classic French pastry—think of it as an elevated cream puff, finished with a thin, sweet, cookie-like crust that bakes up crisp and crackly. Its name translates roughly to “cracker cream puff,” a nod to its signature crunch. Chloe Hodgman, pastry chef at The Girl & The Fig in Sonoma, shares her recipe for this elegant dessert. The choux is topped with an espresso almond flour craquelin before baking, then filled with a decadent chocolate stracciatella espresso mascarpone mousse. The result is a showstopping, special-occasion dessert—crispy on the outside, light and airy on the inside, with rich espresso and chocolate flavors in every bite.

Customize the Fundraise for the Investor Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising funding, the founder will find that investors vary in their approach to the startup's fundraise. Some will want a valuation set while others just want to be in the deal. Some will invest because of the team, others because of the product or sector. Founders should customize the fundraise for the investor. For those who want to be in the deal, the founder should use a convertible note to capture them in the round. For those who want a valuation set, the founder should keep those investors updated so that when the price gets set, those investors will join the round. The founder should customize the presentation for each investor to highlight what is important to them. In most cases, the presentation deck is the same, but the emphasis shifts to the interests of the investor. For investors interested in investing in the team, focus on the team and their skills. For investors interested in the sector, show the trends in the industry and how the startup is taking advantage of them.
