How To Win Investors In Times Of Covid-19 with Dr. Tobias Reichmuth & Patricia Falco Beccalli

Raising Funds in times of Covid-19 has become tough for young entrepreneurs. Dr. Tobias Reichmuth (Investor / Dragon's Den Switzerland) shares with us what really matters if you're a founder and looking for fresh money.

00:00 Intro

00:25 How to Pitch Perfect to Investors:
Authenticity! First and foremost, investors invest in people: the founder and his team. A great team can build a successful company with a mediocre product, but an average team won’t be able to be successful even with the most brilliant product.

11:55 Company Valuations vs. Actual Value
Financial forecasts and company valuations need to be realistic. No investor will buy the idea that a startup’s potential market is 65bn USD big and thus the company’s valuation is justified at 20 million without any previous sales whatsoever. Valuations is big stumbling block in many pitches, as they are often driven by the entrepreneurs’ blinkered love for the product idea. Totally detached from reality.

19:55 Vision, Focus, Implementation
Whilst showing a long-term vision is important to potential investors, it is much more important to see the HOW? to turn that vision into reality. Strategy, process, focus and go-to-market strategy, asset allocation amongst other points, need to be part of a good pitch.

About Dr. Tobias Reichmuth:
Supporter of entrepreneurship and one of the Lions in the Höhle Der Löwen Schweiz TV show. As an entrepreneur and investor, he focuses on the most important challenge of the 21st century: Global warming and climate change. To tackle climate change at large, he has founded SUSIPartnersAG, which mobilizes instructional capital to finance energy transition infrastructure projects. Exponential technology advancement is the hope to master the challenges of the 21st century, he believes. With The Singularity Group, a Swiss/Luxembourg asset manager, which he co-founded, he aims to identify those companies, which can profit of exponential technology advancement. One of the keys enabling technologies of the next decades is Blockchain - and one of the sectors which will be disrupted most, is finance and banking. Therefore he founded Crypto Finance Group, to provide institutional grade services and infrastructure to institutional clients such as banks, insurances, family offices and other investors.
