“Response has been great because there is a
growing need amongst a lot of angel groups and individual investors to
influence the ability and size of an exit after their investment is made,” says
Chris Major, Director of Education. “Many
investors do not believe they can, or know how to, set up a process to create
an ongoing impact on their investments. The Navigating the Boardroom and
Post-Investment: Mentoring & Governance workshops aim to solve these
issues.
“The Pitching to Investors workshop
is a solution to a common problem and that is many entrepreneurs are not
prepared to effectively communicate their opportunities to investors. The most
common ‘off the record’ comment we hear from investors about pitches is, ‘they
are usually pretty bad.’ This response dooms the entrepreneur. By learning how
to speak to investors, the common mistakes to avoid, and what investors really
look for, you increase the odds of raising capital and create a more efficient
process for the investor. It is a great win-win for everyone involved.
“Angel groups are starting to
partner with local organizations, such as incubators, economic development
organizations, and universities to deliver the Pitching to Investors workshop
because it goes a long way to improving their community’s investment readiness.”
