Pitching an Investor With Codie Sanchez

Pitching an Investor With Codie Sanchez

In this video clip, Codie Sanchez, speaker, entrepreneur, investor and CEO of www.CodieSanchez.com, offers three tips that yield more successful fundraising results. Angel investors are constantly being bombarded by requests, so it's difficult to break through the noise if you don't have the proper processes in place. Start with self-awareness; don't ask an investor to sign an NDA before they've heard your idea. Keep it simple when explaining your idea and why it will work. Finally, know that you'll hear "no" often, but be persistent in a smart way by following up.

"What is the one thing that this company really does? Keep it stupid simple."

More about our expert: Codie Sanchez has been: a Latina journalist covering human trafficking in Mexico, a finance exec running an international investment division for First Trust Portfolios, a speaker talking to hundreds, a podcast host on The Struggle Isn't Real and a startup CEO on the Today Show.
