Investor Outreach Strategy: Navigating Investor Q&A

With Gaurav Bansal, Global Tech Investor & Advisor.

Webinar Description: Finding investors and reaching out to them is easy with tons of investor databases at your disposal. However, have you succeeded in getting an investor response or an actual investment? Investors receive tons of emails each day. How do you stand out from the crowd to get a response from an investor? How do you convert your email outreach to an investor meeting and potentially into an investment? How do you understand and address the questions that investors ask in each interaction/meeting?

In this webinar, you’ll learn tips for navigating all the questions above, plus content covering:

  • Investor outreach strategy – target investor profile, timelines, outreach, response, closing the round
  • Investor CRM – qualified target list
  • Investor Ambassador Army – for warm introductions
  • Email teaser – for cold outreach and forwardable blurb
  • Investor meetings, Q&As, deciphering feedback, follow-up, etc.
  • Addressing specific investor Q&As

* Please note this webinar series is open to members of the University of Toronto, University of Toronto Entrepreneurship (UTE), IDEA Mississauga and Ontario Genomics BioCreate communities only.
