How to Prepare for Your First Investor Meeting

The goal is a second meeting

You rarely close a round in one meeting. Aim to leave the investor curious and wanting to learn more.

Research the investor

Know what they have invested in, their typical ticket size and stage. Mention why you think you fit.

Open with a crisp story

In two minutes: the problem, your solution, your progress and what you are raising.

Expect hard questions

Prepare answers on competition, risks, unit economics and your use of funds. Honest answers beat polished ones.

Ask your own questions

How do they make decisions? How do they support founders? What would they need to see?

Follow up quickly

Send a short thank-you with your deck and any promised information within a day.
