𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻? 🤔 Investing in startups is like picking players for a winning team. But how do investors know which startups are worth their time and money? Let's find out... 𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺: 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 Before anything else, investors look at the people behind the startup. These are the founders, the ones with the big idea. Investors want to see if they're dedicated, good at talking with others, and have the skills needed to make their idea work. 𝟮. 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝘅: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝗻 It's not just about being friends; the founders need to bring different skills to the table. Maybe one is great with technology, while another is a smooth talker. A mix of skills means they can handle whatever challenges come their way. Picture a puzzle coming together—each piece contributing a unique proficiency.

How will the startup grow? How will it handle more customers? A solid business plan shows that the startup is ready for success. 𝟰. 𝗙𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 Potential investors will want to be sure that your startup not only fits in their portfolio (meaning startups should do their research and find investors interested in companies like theirs) but that it is also viable in the market. Investors need to believe in the startup's idea and see its potential in the market. Also, they should study the market to time their pitches just right. 𝟱. 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝘃𝘀. 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱: 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 Of course, one of the biggest things investors will consider is the potential risk and value. Investing in startups is risky. Most startups fail, so investors need to see a big potential for profit. Founders will be looking at the overall potential for high ROI and long-term business sustainability, as these factors balance out the major risk of investing, considering 90% of startups fail.
