Are you ready to meet with an Investor?
A compelling story with a clear vision plus the metrics to back it up. That’s the formula for a successful pitch to an investor.
On your first meeting with the investor, you will need to earn their confidence. To do that, you can try to wow them with a great narrative, but without sound metrics to support your claims, your story will lack substance and credibility.
So how do you choose the right metrics to convince your investor? Read here

Intellectual property (IP) protection is a vital element that is often overlooked as founders place R&D, sales, and marketing efforts at the forefront of their startup’s development.
Prioritizing and allocating resources for more productive tasks is brilliant, especially, in the early stages. At the end of the day, you are the strategist and you decide on the moves you make in a game against time (to market) and money.
However, safeguarding your ideas, designs, and inventions is definitely not something you should put on the back burner. It may just be that ace up your sleeve.
A sound IP strategy could help grapple with the competition, score a better valuation with an investor, or even land an acquisition offer you can’t refuse. Read on to learn how to protect and get the most out of your intellectual property.

👉 Many startups have shared with us that they often feel their applications submitted through venture fund websites or other platforms don't reach the intended investors.
👉 Investors themselves honestly admit that the sheer volume of applications can make it difficult to review each one thoroughly, causing relevant startup to get lost amid less relevant ones.
🤨 So, why expend time and effort for both sides? On the Go Global World platform, startups can complete their profiles once, while investors can easily discover them.
