Listen "#1 The truth about what investors really want from founders with Philip Haverkamp"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Talking To Investors podcast, I'm speaking with Philip Haverkamp, partner at impact VC fund kopa (formerly Wi Venture).
We're discussing:
► Why investors don’t want you to take the first equity offer, even if it was fair.
► How de-risking one massive investor concern can double your chances of getting funded.
► Why a higher valuation doesn’t mean it’s the best offer.
► The kind of investors you should NEVER make a deal with.
► The killer mistake that made investors hang up mid-call and almost cost Phil a great exit.
► How to stop wasting time sending your deck to investors who’ll never look at it.
► At what stage of a negotiation lawyers can do more harm than good.
► One simple thing founders almost never do but which would immediately get them more help from investors.
► And loads of other insights Phil brings to the table.
