From navigating investor relations to understanding deal structures, early-stage entrepreneurs face a complex landscape when seeking investment. Evaluating your business through an investor lens can result in quite valuable insights into what they look for in a business model, how they assess market opportunities, and what factors influence their decision-making process.
