Startup Office Hours Venture Capital Funding Advice for Startup Company Entrepreneurs welcomed angel investor and VC pitch practice from startup founders worldwide. StartupCouncil.org CEO Scott Fox helped accelerate the startups and moderate discussion including:
- Almajd from Berlin asked about protecting, maybe patenting, his AI enhanced 3D modeling software before going to market. How to protect his confidential IP but still market the product?
- Ketan from Bangalore practiced the angel investor pitch for his new venture's social media tools and AI-enhanced content creation services.
- Andy from Los Angeles asked about the dangers of pitching to venture capital firms who are already invested in competitor companies.
- Julia from Riverside wanted guidance on how much to raise for her company, how to set a valuation, and how to find angel investors. (Hint: Try visiting www.StartupInv...)
- Phyu from Faroe Islands (Denmark) is new to #startups and wanted to discuss how to find and build relationships with investors when she lives so far from major financial centers. (Hint: Try visiting StartupEvents.org for free newsletters highlighting virtual entrepreneur events you can attend from anywhere.)
- May from Mountain View asked what founders should say when investors ask them "Why You?" (Hint: Scott added "Why Now?" as a followup question...)
- Sean from Laguna Niguel has an early idea about brokering social media influence to brands seeking exposure. We discussed the opportunity and challenges, plus what he needs more of in his investor pitch.
- Alex from Mexico City practiced his pitch for his travel startup. He did a great job but Scott and the audience offered suggestions to make it even better.
- Nataraj from Murrieta practiced his quick pitch for his biotech startup venture. Curing cancer is their goal and the group helped him identify ways to make his pitch even better for investors.
- Polina from London UK pitched us her AI-enabled sales coaching and training tool.
