Securing venture capital (VC) investment depends on a variety of factors within a specific, dynamic environment. Therefore, adopting a VC investor’s perspective when pitching your business can be crucial. This workshop offers valuable insights that will deepen your understanding of a VC investor’s goals and search criteria. We will cover, reflect on and discuss implications of the VC business model, different investor mindsets, and a selection of typical pitch formulations and VC investor statements. Furthermore, we will examine the founder skills and competencies sought by VC investors and how these are observed throughout the investment process.
