Dos for the preparation
Be specific. Substantiate statements with market data
Summarize and properly structure financial information;
review by outside parties
Show how much money you need; how do you spend it
Attractive business plan (design), but not overdone
Network like crazy
Choosing your VC is as choosing a co-founder
Do reference checks on the VC (previous investments)
Having multiple term sheets makes a difference.

Dos in Sales pitch
Show a clear and logical exit strategy
Save up good news for the middle of the process
Wait until you have significant traction
Be direct and have a plan – VCs like to see your confidence
Be open and honest
Be brief – provide executive summary
Cite clearly how much money the company will need
Be realistic in making estimates and assessing market

Dont’s in Sales pitch
Don’t pitch ideal VCs first – practice
Don’t just pitch - listen to the VC
Don’t be defensive
Don’t pick your investor solely on brand/name.
Don’t plan on closing any rounds in August / December or
within a short time
Don’t engage in a bidding war.
Don’t travel too much – stay local
Don’t press people beyond the Thank You email after a
meeting.
