3 Brutal Truth About Pitching To Investors

1. Investors care more about execution than your idea because a great idea isn’t enough.

Investors prioritize your ability to execute and prove product-market fit. They want to see evidence of traction, market demand, and a clear plan for scaling, not just innovation.

2. Rejections are inevitable actually. Securing funding is a grueling process often filled with dozens of rejections before success. Investors are selective, and many pitches fail due to mismatched timing, focus, or lack of preparation.

If you think you need 3 months to secure the funds, double it. That be more practical and likely halve it on the amount you may get.

3. It’s about the investor, not just you too. Many founders fail by focusing solely on their product instead of addressing the investor's perspective, such as risk, ROI, and alignment with their portfolio. Tailoring your pitch to the investor's interests is critical.

Investors want to know how you are going to help them exit too. Is not always about you. They don’t invest because they like you. They are here to make money too.
