Becoming Tech Entrepreneur. Part 2: Getting Investments For Your Idea. A Down-to-Earth Approach.

Hey, it’s Arina once again, a seasoned art director with over a decade of digital design experience. I was planning to continue this series of articles where we dive into various niches for starting projects. But a recent story from a friend of mine about her struggles to secure investments for her project (and her less-than-successful attempts) got me thinking about writing an article on how actually to get investors on board. <h1>A Relatable Approach to Attracting Investors</h1> When it comes to securing investments, remember, it’s not so much about what kind of project you’re pitching, whether it’s a physical storefront or a cutting-edge digital startup. What truly matters is your approach. A practical route to success with investors involves a few simple steps: 1.Building Connections and Gaining Trust. Before you even think about asking for money, invest some time in building relationships with potential investors and earning their trust. My friend learned this the hard way when she just sent a voice message asking for cash after getting an investor’s contact. The result? Well, let’s just say it wasn’t what she hoped for. 2.Pitch Your Idea Face-to-Face. When the right moment comes along, try to meet up in person, in the same room, if possible. It’s a chance to get acquainted, find common ground, and communicate your idea far more effectively than through text messages. Explain your idea simply and concisely, highlighting the problem it solves and the potential market. Be ready for questions and discussions. <a href="https://blog.startupstash.com/becoming-tech-entrepreneur-part-2-getting-investments-for-your-idea-a-down-to-earth-approach-268b65657561">Website</a>
