Prepare a focused approach
Start with the sector and business model you operate in, then narrow by funding round, target market and investor type.
Before pitching for Japan, confirm incorporation requirements, team location and whether the mandate supports market entry or only established local operations.
For Pre-IPO, show the evidence already achieved, the next milestone and a budget connecting the raise to that milestone. Confirm expected round size and ownership.
- Check the current mandate and recent investments.
- Confirm check size, lead or follow preference, and company eligibility.
- Identify the relevant partner and published pitch route.
- Explain your customer evidence, raise and specific reason for approaching this investor.
