Founders who have pitched investors: how did you actually practice before the meeting?
Hey founders,
I’ve been speaking with a few early-stage founders recently and noticed that pitching investors can be one of the most stressful parts of building a startup.
Something I’m curious about:
How do founders actually prepare before pitching to investors?
A few things I’d love to understand from people who have gone through it:
• Did you practice answering investor questions beforehand?
• If yes, how did you practice? (friends, mentors, mock pitches, recording yourself, etc.)
• What was the toughest investor question you faced?
• What part of pitching made you the most nervous?
Trying to understand how founders currently prepare for investor conversations.
Would really appreciate hearing about real experiences from people who’ve been through it.
