Finance expert Mike Periu on Key ways for Attracting Investors on next business venture
Attracting Investors: Serial entrepreneur Geoffrey Clapp advises business owners to “go do something”. Many aspiring moguls spend so much time planning, that they never get around to actually doing something. When Clapp considers potential investments or advisory roles he looks for owners, who have actually done something—even if that “something” turned out to be a failure because the learning that takes place from going through the process is essential for future success.
He also believes that pitching skills are overrated. To attract capital, its more important to have accomplished something even if its small—to prove to investors that you know how to identify a problem, find a solution, identify customers and put together a team that can execute.
