    For founders fundraising: It’s helpful to consider the biggest reasons an investor might *not* invest, and pre-emptively address those reasons. If you’ve solved for them, point to evidence. If you haven’t, point to how you’ll address them, and the moat you’ve built to date.

        Derisking is the name of the game - simple in essence. If you consider everything that could go wrong with your co and show that you've thought of it + done something to minimize chances of failure + planned for the future, it tends to help with raising

        When I was fund raising, I religiously kept an "objection handling" doc. I highly recommend to founders: update doc after every meeting, structure concise answers to common concerns, practice before every meeting. Never wing it and your pitch will get better w/ each meeting.

        Interesting, ... Makes a ton of sense, work backwards! As well, get as far as you can without investor assistance...

        By moat do you mean sustainable competitive advantage?
