This is one of my favorite insights, since I lived this one in a positive exit from my computer business. Types of business buyers expanded. Most people will tell you that there are two kinds of eventual buyers for your business: financial and strategic. A financial buyer will analyze your numbers, past and forecast, to the n’th degree, and calculate the price based upon the result, after carefully comparing your numbers with those of others in the same and similar industries.

Whether you’re going through an accelerator or you’re at some kind of speed dating event, short “office hours” meetings present both an opportunity and a problem for investors. It’s a great way to get out from behind the e-mail and actually meet people face to face. However, it’s a terrible way to get your whole pitch in. There’s just not enough time to convince someone to invest and have a productive back and forth.

Entrepreneurs' Organization

SEPTEMBER 10, 2018

Written by Richard J. Bryan, leadership expert. . In my travels as a leadership keynote speaker, I talk to leaders inhabiting just about every possible point on the delegation spectrum. I’ve met entrepreneurs who still believe they need to do every single thing themselves—they’re easily recognized by the dark circles of exhaustion under their eyes. Or the frantic business owners who know they need support, but who haven’t yet found the right employees.
