About the evening
Every founder wonders what makes an investor say yes. The finale is planned around the people who make that call.
Episode 5 asks venture capital investors what they look for in an AI startup, how they decide, why they pass and when in a company's life they invest. Speakers announced soon.
You'll leave knowing
- What they look for. The team, the problem, the proof and the market.
- How they decide. What happens between the first meeting and the cheque.
- Why they say no. The common reasons an AI startup gets a pass.
- When they invest. Idea, first customers or real revenue: which stage suits which investor.
How the evening runs
7:00, the talk and your questions. 7:40, hands-on: bring an idea, however rough, and we test it against the questions investors ask. 8:10, meet the room. 8:30, done.
