Get Pitch Deck Ready for 25 German Venture Capital Investors

‍

Each startup has its individual needs depending on their current stage when it comes to external support. If you happen to be the founder of an Early Stage startup, you are at a point where your business plan is somewhat final, your startup has a structure, and you have a proof of concept to show. Now it is time for the first market entry for which you need financial as well as non-financial support – depending on whether you are in the Seed Phase or Series A.

Seed Phase vs. Series A

During the Seed Phase, your first official equity funding will happen. This capital is meant for you to take first steps. Once this is done, your startup may be able to function by itself. Otherwise, you will move on to Series A, where investors already expect more of you – in terms of showing a track record before the funding as well as handing over a certain amount of shares the moment the funding becomes official.

Reaching Out to Potential Investors

If you don’t happen to be scouted and contacted by a Venture Capital or Business Angel yourself, you must reach out to them. To be as successful and efficient in this process as possible, you need to prepare and answer important questions for yourself and your potential investor.
