- Scale of investment – PE / VC / angel / grant“Art” not a science / these are very much guidelines but investors are people at the end of the day and not all investors are the same – one investor may look at your business a completely dismiss it, another might think it’s the best thing since google!There are always exceptions… forgive me if I don’t make this clear in every point I discuss
- Cliché but good management is critical.We back people to run businesses…Arguably even more important at the venture end of the market
