What an investor needs from a startups
Today I have devoted a certain amount of time to the study of the question: what needs to be done in order to please the investor. In fact, all the recommendations can be reduced to a very modest in terms of plan. So:
1. Just ideas are few. If a genius (according to our terminology) will voice only something like “We sat with friends, drank beer, watched a movie. And we spoke instead of characters. It was fun. Let's voice films ourselves ”- what can you say to him in return?
First, that such a project already exists. And everyone knows what kind of project it is. Secondly, the idea itself, without any reasonable plan for its implementation, is not worth anything. And even if it is worth it - you cannot see even a penny from these imaginary millions.
2. It is always a pleasure to work with people who know what they want. If a certain genius comes to us, at the very least he will present his idea, perhaps he will even be interested, but questions about his participation in the project, about the presence / absence of his team, about the desired ratio of responsibility / profit will be answered vaguely and evasively, most likely will have to reject.
')
3. A business plan must contain such things as:
The essence of the project
How does it differ from existing projects in the network?
List of competitors
Cost estimate
And be sure to (!) The monetization scheme and the estimated income.
Usually they forget about the last part. But for the investor it is as important as the expenditure part. After all, no one will invest even 100,000 rubles, if the income from the project is 30,000 rubles. or methods of making profit are vague and not obvious.
Here, actually. Information interested.
PS Post even added 3 times. The most respectable audience, I hope, understands that a technical failure has occurred, for which I apologize. And the desire to repeat the whole tape is not included in my plans. Thank you for understanding.
