Recommendations from Investor relations manager Activat VC

The Tech's Telegram channel hosted an online pitch where startups from Central Asia presented their projects. The jury included our Investor Relations Manager, Anuar Lenzat, who not only evaluated the presentations, but also shared valuable recommendations for startups on how to successfully attract investment:

1. Hone your presentation skills. Make pitching more engaging and clear to keep the audience's attention.

2. Clarify the valuation. Explain the basis for your estimate. Justify it with a comparative analysis of competitors and convincingly show why your figure is fair.

3 Define your audience. Precisely define your sub-segment - who your paying customers are. Describe them in more detail, such as by age, social status, and other important characteristics.

4. Consider “bootstrapping”: it may be worth doing without investment at an early stage and testing the business first to see how viable it is and whether you need external resources.
