What Investors are Saying

The investor wants to see a complete team, functional in each critical area, with sufficient experience to indicate competence. Ideally, the team has worked together before, hopefully succeeding, although failure is not absolute cause for rejection. The team must display integrity and exhibit the drive to succeed—commonly referred to as “fire in the belly.”
