Excess Edge Experts Consulting highlights common pitfalls early-stage ventures face when seeking investment. Many founders delay addressing key issues, hoping to resolve them post-funding—often to their detriment. We frequently see: • Vague Vision: Comparing your startup to “Apple for X” without a clear, specific value proposition weakens your pitch. • Unrealistic Valuation: High valuations without traction raise red flags. Ground them in data. • Team Gaps: Lack of technical expertise in the founding team hampers execution. • “No Competition” Claims: These signal poor market research. Show awareness of direct and indirect players. • Unprofessional Presence: Generic emails and no website suggest lack of seriousness. • Messy Cap Tables: Dead equity and unclear structures deter investors. • Missing Legal & Online Basics: No company registration or digital footprint implies weak commitment. Addressing these early reflects maturity and preparedness.
