From acceleration to meetups with angel investors. Here are some tips on how to find venture capitalist and raise money for your AI startup.
Many DeepTech-startups try to solve the problem of funding by spending time while rambling on angel investors websites. So, it seems pretty simple at first glance: look for the appropriate fund and fill in an application on its web site. For example, you can always apply for funding at the Intema web site.
But you should pay attention to requirements of a specific fund, before asking for funding.
- Аt what stage do VCs invest in startups?
- Do they fund the industry in which you work?
- What are their requirements for the company’s profit and its product?
If you doubt your capabilities, you can always attend the fund’s events, where you will get acquainted with its strategy and managers, as well as with those startups that have received funding.
Such events will allow you to expand your network of contacts and possibly find more investors than you thought.
If you have completed a startup incubator you should know how to find investors for your project without a drama. If you did not get through the scaling program, maybe you need to find a specific accelerator, get startup mentoring and learn how to get funding for a concept stage startup.
