Everything You Need to Prep For An Investor Meeting w/ Keir Dillon

Seed Money

In the path to getting funding for your idea, meeting with investors is the most important checkpoint. You only have one shot at a first impression, so the more dialed in your presentation is, the more successful you’ll be.

From pitch decks to financials, there’s a ton of work that goes into preparing for that face-to-face with a potential funding source. We literally can’t afford to show up without having everything dialed in.

We have to condense the idea, the numbers, and the opportunity into a 12-page pitch deck and a short presentation, and that’s not easy.

Luckily there’s work we can do proactively to have a perfect investor pitch. Even ChatGPT can be hugely helpful in getting prepared. What are the must-have materials for an investor meeting? Why is a business plan important (even if we don’t show investors)? How do you structure your business early on?

In this episode, I’m joined by Keir Dillon, an experienced entrepreneur seasoned in raising seed money. He talks about his new business venture and everything you need to do before you meet investors.
