Alex Dunsdon returns following his first episode on Breaking Biz to go into further detail about the world of startup investment.
[audio http://traffic.libsyn.com/breakingbiz/BreakingBizAlexDunsdon2.mp3 ]
Alex discusses the ways in which investors tend to think, what makes a great pitch and how he made the bold transition to become a full time startup investor after 10 years at M&C Saatchi in London.
All Breaking Biz ‘investor’ interviews can be found here, and interviews with startup founders are here.
Some takeaways were:
- As a founder you must never get bored of telling your story
- The most attractive setup for a tech investor is a CTO plus a Business Development professional
- Investors love founders who clearly demonstrate strategic thinking as far as 3-5 years ahead, regardless of whether the predictions come true or not.
