Investor pitch analysis isn’t very complicated once you understand that the questions investors ask are based around the core questions investors need to know. How investors assess startups isn’t always about poking holes or why investors say no, it’s often sorting and running founders through a proper framework to truly understanding the company in front of them. That’s why VCs often cut founders off - there are key questions investors need answered and a limited amount of time to cover them. From a VC point of view, Steve outlines what he looks for in a startup. This is important context to make sure you address critical areas of interest for investors.
