Reading guide
Robin offers four suggestions for working with investors: communicate proactively and regularly rather than avoiding them; build trust for a long-term partnership; if you can make investors 100 times their money, you can make yourself 1,000 times yours (a rhetorical statement); and when fundraising is going poorly, first ask where you are not yet prepared instead of blaming everything on investors’ lack of vision.
Key points
- Communicate with investors proactively and regularly.
- Build trust for a long-term partnership.
- Make investors 100 times their money, and you can make yourself 1,000 times yours (rhetorical).
- When fundraising is going poorly, examine your own preparedness first.
