What do I need to tell investors in the pitch presentation? +

Give your investor the basics to start with. Make sure you craft your pitch carefully and think about any questions they may ask you. You will have plenty of time, so make sure you cover all the important facts. Here are some ideas of what your investor might want to know:

  • What you are hoping to achieve.
  • What your products and services are.
  • Who the competition are.
  • Why you are different.
  • Information about your current and forecasted finances.
  • Be prepared to justify your valuation and how it was arrived at.
  • How cash generative is your business model.

How much does it cost to speak to an investor? +

The Funding Room facilitates your first meeting with an investor. Once you’ve chosen your individual investor, you will be asked to pay a fee of £20 or more depending upon the number you select. Getting investment is very much the same as any activity in business or indeed in life, you probably stand a better chance of investment the more investors you approach, That is why we encourage it by offering significant discounts for multiple selections. if you select all of the investors it only costs £6 per investor.

How do I make sure my ideas don’t get stolen? +

With a Creative Barcode you can have a conversation with the reassurance that your concept won’t get stolen. You can use a simple digital QR code IP App to create your unique QR/Barcodes which time stamp and attribute concepts to you, the rightful owner. This is a much quicker and friendlier approach than non-disclosure agreements. http://www.creativebarcode.com/join
