What early-stage investors ask Lazio startups first

Every investor has a style, but the first conversation with an early-stage fund tends to cover the same ground: the problem, who is paying today, the team, and what the money will change.

Four questions to prepare

Who is the customer, and who signs the purchase? Which results do you already have — pilots, letters of intent, first revenue? Why is this team the right one? And what milestones will this round reach?

Sample investors on the platform, such as Cassia Venture Partners, publish what they are looking for on their profile. Reading it before getting in touch saves both sides time.

Companies raising capital can publish a startup investment opportunity and use matchmaking to reach investors whose focus fits their sector and stage.
