In this video, we’re going to look at what you should never say to an investor. Things that will make them walk away - investment killing statements!
We have a full team of experienced investors that have done hundreds of investments each and said no to even more investments. We did a big brainstorm and then voted to find the worst walk-away statements and made a list of the Top 9 worst statements!
Make sure you watch the video so you don’t lose an investment because of something that is in this video.
The investor panel is:
Olga Maslikhova, General Partner, Mercer Ventures and Angel investor
Suranga Chandratillake, General Partner at Balderton Capital
Paul St John, Angel Investor Ex-Github
