Adam Lawrence shares his stories from his time as an investor. We explore how investors earn their scar tissue. We dig into how investors think and how to pick the right investors for your business.
This episode has been the inspiration for my article on Medium called, "Interview With A Vampire" about how to get to the truth and qualify investors to make sure they are right for you and your business.
A very frank and unvarnished conversation about one of the biggest mistakes many founders make selecting the wrong investor, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons. Getting the right investor, for the right reasons, at the right time on the right terms can accelerate your growth but the failure rates of VC backed businesses are alarmingly high. I will say that in fairness to VCs, they are playing in the part of the market that is experimental - your product is new, your management may be untested, and your market may not be properly defined, so these factors carry high risk.
