Tipsfor a meetingwith investors
Inform yourself about theavailable time!
Know who will be present at the meeting
Make sure that you’ll have everything you need for the presentation

Don’t be scaredto open your idea to investors.They won’t steal it!
Don’t turn the meeting into a monologue. Use it to know the investors as well.
Don’t bother about telling everything about your business. Leave the investor wanting more!
