101% chance Investors will reject if you do these... 1. Stop sending long cold messages. Investors don’t want your life story. Get to the point. 2. Don’t mention your valuation upfront. It’s not about your worth; it’s about traction. Show you have paying customers instead. 3. If you don’t know an answer, be honest. Playing around doesn’t impress anyone. Time is limited, so don’t waste it with fluff. 4. Focus on your business, not the pitch deck. If it feels like a mere project, investors will notice. Passion and progress matter more than pretty slides. 5. Communicate slowly and clearly. Fancy English won't raise but simple language does. Clarity is key to winning their interest. 6. Don' t raise: Desperation is common but avoid it. Make your startup appealing—like a stock investors want. Remember that many investors are driven by genuine interest. They want to see potential, not just numbers Your approach matters just as much as your product.
