1/ THE STORY:

Tips for Pitching Investors:
💯 Be honest with your expectations
💲 Sharing an actual valuation number isn’t always the best move
📝 Know your story, you don’t want to backtrack
💥 Reveal your end game
We look for more than traction and metrics when investing. We look for a trait called EQ 🧠
This is a critical assessment factor in early stage investing, which is why we developed a framework and list of questions to help uncover a founder's EQ: https://t.co/n7uHOCAjdu
Highlight: “We’ve always believed that diversity of people and opinions drives better outcomes," @alpacavc General Partner @ryanfreedman_ says. “Today, in today’s environment we felt we needed to do more.”
