Investor Readiness - How to Build a Successful Investor-Entrepreneur Relationship

On April 20th, we were joined by Susan Kelly (Founder & CEO, Respiratory Analytics), Jennifer Neff (Co-Founder & CEO, Elemental), investor Gillian McColgan and our co-founder and investor Mary McKenna interviewed by Denise McQuaid (CEO, GoBeyond) and all-around AwakenHub champion.

We all know the adage “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” We also know how difficult it can be for women founders to secure investment. But with a bit of insider knowledge, lessons learned from those who have gone before you, and a lot of planning anything is possible.

From an angel investor perspective we discussed:

• what investors assess when looking at an investment opportunity

• what angel investors wish entrepreneurs knew before raising investment from an angel community and

• the value an angel investor brings to the entrepreneur.

From the entrepreneur’s perspective we discussed:

• the role angel investors played in their success

• the best advice received from their angel investor that helped them scale their business and

• the key to a successful entrepreneur/ investor relationship.
