Whether they’re approaching investors, accelerators, contract opportunities or even potential employees, founders are constantly pitching their startups. Here’s how to ace every meeting.
For many founders, raising capital is a key part of growing their businesses — and it’s a good time to be pitching investors. According to a July 2021 CB Insights report, in the first six months of the year, Canadian founders had already raised more than two times what they did in 2020. What’s more, a TechCrunch+ analysis of the data found “Canada’s venture capital results now rival those of the entire Latin American region… [But] notably, no Canadian startup deal in the quarter was worth more than $500 million.” According to TechCrunch senior editor Alex Wilhelm and reporter Anna Heim, that’s good news because it indicates that, instead of being dominated by a few companies that raised billion-dollar rounds, Canada’s investing landscape is “performing well more generally.”
