Fundraising can be tough, and the last thing you need is to be scammed by a fake VC. To protect yourself and your business, always remember these key checks: * Due Diligence: A legitimate VC will have a verifiable track record of investments and a strong professional network. * Ask Pointed Questions: Don't be afraid to ask about their fund's size, typical check size, and recent deals. * No Fees: Never, ever pay an "upfront fee" for legal, admin, or due diligence costs. This is a massive red flag. * Demand a Video Call: Scammers often avoid face-to-face contact. Stay vigilant and secure the right partners for your company. #startupfunding #entrepreneurship #investor #VC
