Do you think startups can increase their chances of getting funded by studying how investors behave and what they usually look for? It seems logical that understanding investor preferences could help founders target the right people and avoid wasting time on the wrong ones. But how practical is this in reality? Is investor behavior predictable enough to build a strategy around it, or does it change too much depending on market conditions and personal preferences? I also wonder if using data and structured insights actually gives startups a real advantage, or if relationships and timing still play a much bigger role than analysis.
