What You Should Never Say To An Investor

There are some things you’ll never want to say to investors. You’re likely to think they’re smart, but, in the blink of an eye, you’ll have cost yourself a potential investment. Worse yet, you won’t even know why the investor said no.
I don’t want that to happen to you. That’s why in today’s video, I’ll explain what are the ten things you can never say to investors, why you can’t say them, and what you should say instead. I hope you like it.

I learned that its important to always tell the truth and avoid jokes when pitching.I also need to understand my competitors well.

[@BrettFoxstartupceo]

Thanks for adding your thoughts, Fred. Spot on.

[@michaelradovich7633]

This is the first video I've watched about seeking startup funding where nearly everything you said is a trap I would have fallen into. Thank you for explaining some common pitfalls when pitching to investors and how to avoid them.

[@BrettFoxstartupceo]

You're welcome, Michael. I'm glad you found this video useful.

Absolutely amazing info. Clear, crisp and well presented.

[@BrettFoxstartupceo]

Thanks for the kind words. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

[@mamawolf8484]

I learned before watching this video that you always start high with your estimate of costs. Then things can be negotiated down or, if you get the quoted amount, and you can complete the process under budget you have happy investors.

[@BrettFoxstartupceo]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@dboodtb2422]

I learned to be true with the start cost of a business and business means business especially when presenting business to investors because you never know if they are in a good mood for your jokes.

[@BrettFoxstartupceo]

Glad you found the video helpful.

[@lonzomckelvy1376]

Don't say you're the next big thing

Thank you, subscribed. I’m a major disruptor. I’m all alone. I can’t wait to find the right investor. New way of doing things and replicable.

Best of luck on your startup journey, Brandon.

[@celeb99mu]

Great reminder that competition >= status quo.
Change takes energy, and if resourcing is tight then you are competing against the old ways of doing things.
Thanks @brettFox for the content.

I'll also like to know what it will cost me to be a student in your class? Thanks 🙏

[@BrettFoxstartupceo]

Yes, you can print the article. I have several different options, go to www.brettjfox.com for more information and to apply.

Great points there Brett - 'The exit will take of itself' 👍 - 'Always tell the truth', I had a board of obstructionist directors who repeatedly would embellish the minutes, lie at the AGMs and pretty much set the investor/sharholders against me, and no matter what I did to prove the lies (including their own evidence of false reporting of motion votes) I could not get my shareholders to believe the truth.
Good job Brett, you should have a million plus subscribers 😀

[@BrettFoxstartupceo]

Thanks for the kind words, Murray. I am so sorry you had to deal with obstructionist directors. A bad board and/or bad investors is the one thing that is almost impossible for any startup to overcome. It sucks!

[@MurrayTymms]

@@BrettFoxstartupceo It sucks alright - Sent a good venture down the shute and wasted several years of my (valuable) time. Still, I have learned heaps, just a shame I am not 20 years old anymore, so I could take the experiences further into my life 😐
