Knowing When Not to Invest

Knowing When Not to Invest

July 14, 2021 by investor

So how do you know when not to invest in a startup?

Here’s a checklist of show stoppers:

– There’s no business plan and no plan for an exit.
– There’s no vision for the company.
– There’s no growth in the target market.
– The business doesn’t provide enough of a return on investment.
– The team has too many holes to stand up.
– The projected growth rate is too high and is unrealistic.
– There’s no differentiation over the competition.

Use the process of elimination to remove deals from consideration so you can focus on the ones that can make it.
