12 Know your audience Ò Prepare before your pitch o Know who you are pitching to o Read the bios and understand areas of interest Ò Tailor your pitch to your audience 12

13 Investors Want to? Ò Make money deliver returns to LPs Ò Your story needs to show a clear path to the money Ò An unmet need does not = market Ò Business model(s), scale, strategic partners, exit options Ò Success in Israel does not necessarily translate to success abroad 13

18 And a few more Ò Be weary of superlatives if you want to invest in a unicorn Ò Listen Ò Sometimes it s ok to say I don t know Ò VCs don t sign NDAs Ò Spell check 18
