Thanks for the advice! Super nervous about reaching out to investors. Afraid of coming off as too pushy or, even worse, too desperate. Balancing providing value with genuine connection is the challenge I'm facing rn.

Networking is a two-way street. Sure, provide value, but also don't forget to qualify your investors. Some are just looking to leech off your ideas and time. It's a jungle out there.

Insider reports, huh? Any quick tips on what kind of insights these investors are looking for? Struggling to think of something I could offer that they haven't seen a million times.

Provide value? What a revolutionary concept! Did you come up with that all by yourself or did you have help?

In my experience, it's about quality over quantity. You don't need a 1000 contacts if none are willing to bet on you. I focus on building real, authentic relationships. And this doesn't happen overnight — or over a single webinar. It's a chess game, not checkers.

Totally agree with the hustle mentality. It's all about the grind. But let's not forget to tailor our networking to relevant people. Spamming a biotech investor with a webinar invite on fintech isn't gonna cut it, folks!

Yeah, 'value first' sounds great in theory, but what if your startup doesn't have the resources to give anything away for free? Not every founder can afford to host webinars or create reports before they’ve got a bit of capital to work with.

This is super timely advice! I've been hitting wall after wall trying to get investors to even glance my way. Gonna start setting up some value-adding webinars this week! 🚀
