In addition to perfecting your pitch deck, it's essential to prepare yourself as the CEO or lead presenter. We help you polish your presentation skills to ensure you can confidently and effectively pitch to investors.

Meeting investors and presenting your startup can be a daunting step for any entrepreneur. Investors typically reject 90% of the startups they hear from, with VCs being particularly selective due to the high volume of pitch decks they receive daily. Networking plays a crucial role in securing investor meetings, and building informal relationships with investors is vital, even if you’re not currently raising capital. The way you approach and introduce your startup to angel investors and VCs is also crucial—mass and cold emails are not effective.

Through our Raise Capital Service, we utilize a different approach based on warm introductions and shared connections. We connect you with investors from our network or those already connected to our investors. This gives you access to our internal network of investors who can provide feedback on your pitch. You'll receive a report with comments from these investors on your pitching video.

When meeting with investors, preparation is key. Always have your business plan and pitch deck ready, and be prepared to answer detailed questions about your business and team. When meeting with venture capitalists, make a strong case for why they should invest in your company. Demonstrate your startup’s growth potential and present a solid plan for achieving that growth.

Our approach helps you get in the right mindset and be fully prepared before making your actual pitch to investors from our network or external connections.

We help you find the best way to present your startup story to investors. Here are four tips for crafting the perfect startup story:

Start with the End in Mind: Decide what you want investors to see in your proposal. Do you want to present a clear roadmap of your company's future, or create an "eureka!" moment where everything clicks? Ensure that everything in your presentation leads to this key takeaway.

Be Honest, but Not Too Candid: Share important details, but avoid revealing anything that could negatively impact your company prematurely. Balance transparency with discretion to maintain momentum during fundraising.

Show Off Your Product: Investors love to see product demos. Whether it’s live user testing or early development builds, showcase your product’s functionality. Include footage from major media coverage if available, to demonstrate your startup’s buzzworthiness.

Keep Things Fresh: Investors appreciate novelty. Use different storytelling techniques, share diverse success stories, and bring in guest speakers who can provide unique insights beyond fundraising numbers.

By following these tips, you can effectively convey your startup story and capture investor interest.

When pitching your startup to angel investors and venture capitalists, it's important to address their main concerns directly. Avoid dwelling too much on personal stories or struggles. Instead, focus on answering these crucial questions:

What is Your Startup About?

Clearly define your startup’s mission and vision. Explain the core problem you're solving and how your solution stands out.

Who is Your Target Market?

Identify your primary audience. Discuss their needs, behaviors, and why they would choose your product or service over others.

What is Your Product or Service?

Describe what you offer. Highlight its unique features, benefits, and how it addresses the target market's pain points.

What is Your Business Model, and What Makes It Feasible and Scalable?

Explain how your startup makes money. Detail your revenue streams, pricing strategy, and why your business model is sustainable. Discuss scalability—how you plan to grow and handle increased demand.

By answering these questions clearly and confidently, you'll address investors' primary concerns and demonstrate your startup's potential for success.

After refining your pitch with our internal network of angels, we connect you with venture capitalists (VCs) and angels to secure the funding you need. Our extensive network includes over 100,000 angels and 25,000 VCs. Startups in our Raise Capital or Idea to Product programs are matched with interested investors using our AI system.

We provide continuous support throughout the pitching process. From advisory services to follow-up, we ensure you get valuable feedback and understand the next steps. Our goal is to help you secure funding successfully. Learn more about finding the right VC here.

Our dedicated team works closely with your startup, improving your pitch deck, offering feedback from select investors, and preparing a compelling video pitch. We facilitate introductions and help set up meetings with investors. While we don't pitch on your behalf, as we believe the CEO is best suited to present the startup, we act as your first line of customer service, addressing investor questions about your startup.

One of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face is getting honest feedback from VCs and angel investors. Often, investors are polite and avoid directly pointing out flaws in your pitch or business model. This lack of constructive criticism can hinder your progress. We help you gather valuable feedback from investors and VCs, discussing their insights with you to improve your pitch.

Here's how we help:

Feedback from Investors: We share your pitch materials (pitch deck, business plan, and financial model) with a select group of our angel investors. They provide their opinions, feedback, and indicate whether they would be interested in investing.

Actionable Advice: We discuss this feedback with you, offering comments and suggestions on how to enhance your pitch.

Tips for Refining Your Pitch:

Clarify Your Goals: Clearly communicate what your startup aims to achieve and why it matters.

Tailor Your Presentation: Customize your pitch for each investor, addressing their specific interests and requirements.

Be Prepared for Questions: Be ready to answer detailed questions about your business, team, and market potential.

Showcase Your Business Model: Highlight how your startup plans to generate revenue and grow over time.

By incorporating feedback from our internal angel network and the investors we match you with, you can continually refine your pitch. This iterative process ensures your pitch materials and skills reach their highest potential, significantly enhancing your chances of securing funding.

This feedback process is crucial as it provides insights into how real investors view your materials before you pitch to a wider audience of angel investors and VCs.

Pitching your startup online is an effective alternative to traditional in-person pitching. It allows you to connect with potential investors through email and social media, making follow-up easier and saving time and resources for both parties. This is why online funding is a key component of our Raise Capital Service.

What Sets Leaders Dimension Apart

Unlike typical online pitching platforms that simply host your pitch deck and wait for investor responses, Leaders Dimension offers a more engaged partnership. We support you throughout your fundraising journey, especially during the pitching phase. Instead of exposing your pitch deck to numerous potential competitors with a low response rate, we make warm introductions to angel investors and VCs through shared connections.

How to Structure Your Online Pitch

Describe Your Product or Service: Explain the problem or opportunity your product addresses and how it provides a unique solution.

Highlight Your Business Model: Detail your business model and financial projections to show how your company generates revenue and plans to grow.
