Usually 1 investor will meet approximately 3-4 times before they give an answer whether to invest in a company or not. However, there are also those who do not give a definite answer, aka 'hanging'.Because I am a single founder, usually I can only have parallel discussions with 3 investors and no more because I still have to run my business besides doing investor relations . is different and therefore the data and presentation that we present also need to be different. This is where I realized that investor relations is a full time job.Ironically, by pitching to more than 30 investors, I started to hate this activity.
In my opinion at that time, pitching to investors was an unproductive, repetitive Belgium Mobile Number List job (William Tanuwijaya, CEO of Tokopedia also shared the same experience regarding pitching and fund-raising ). But of course, without investors who carry out capital injection or put in new funds, it will be difficult for the company to develop.How does it feel to be rejected by many investors? Of course, I often feel down , sometimes I also doubt my own products. Is Sribu not an attractive product for investors or is my ability to convince them lacking? Lots of doubt and despair.
After going through many trials, exactly 2 years after the first investment and 1 year when I started looking for investors again, Sribu received a Series A investment from Infoteria in February 2014. (I also share a list of start-ups that received funding in 2014 in Indonesia ).photo 5.JPGPina-san from Infoteria and me.From this journey of getting second funding, there are 4 lessons that I learned and want to share with you to help get investment from investors...1. GrowthBlog-Picture-2Without a good growth trend in the company, it will be difficult to get funding in the next round to take the company to the next level because the company has to be attractive before investors will look at it.
