How a video-pitching platform can close the funding gap in VC - Business Insider

The need for the platform feels more urgent than ever to the co-CEOs, both for founders and investors they hope to attract, because limited movement resulting from sheltering in place is restricting networking.

With the pandemic, Byers has seen founders who were planning to raise funds pause their efforts and investors slowing their pace. Her advice to entrepreneurs navigating the pandemic: Hold off on raising funds if at all possible and instead focus on cultivating relationships with investors. That way, when investors "are more freely deploying capital, the rapport and comfort levels will have been built and you will already be in the pipeline," she explained.

For your warm intro, build on the research you've done and explain how you found the investor and why you're interested in connecting. It's more important now than ever for startups to recognize the value of investors' time, "especially now that people are working from home, sometimes with extended families around," Sublett noted. "It can be incredibly exhausting just to get through a day let alone pick up the phone or hop on a Zoom call to ask a friend or colleague to speak with someone they just met.

In addition, entrepreneurs who participate will receive "aggregate data about how investors are interacting with their video" and messages from interested investors, explained Byers.
