Robin revisits earlier fundraising advice: an introduction from a respected industry leader improves your chances of attracting investors’ attention. Also work to secure a face-to-face discussion, ideally a pitch to someone who can actually decide. He notes that pandemic conditions at the time—July 2021—made meetings difficult and suggests waiting until the situation eases.
