What investors are really looking for.
Anthony Rose, Co-founder and CEO of SeedLegals, has helped thousands of startups raise. Here is his take on what makes investors say yes.
It comes down to evidence.
Across thousands of raises, the founders who close fastest tend to show investors the same handful of things. In the video, Anthony breaks down what moves an investor from "interesting" to "I'm in".
Proof that customers actually want this, such as engagement, waitlists or early revenue, not just a compelling idea.
Investors back people. A capable, committed team that is already shipping signals you will get it done.
Growth in the metrics that matter for your stage, such as users, revenue and retention, moving in the right direction.
Tidy, accurate ownership records with no surprises. Exactly what SeedLegals cap table management keeps in order.
Sensible terms and tidy paperwork that close fast, which is what SeedLegals is built to deliver.
