Startup Funding Espresso -- The Risks in the Deal

The Risks in the Deal Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In diligencing a startup, focus on the key risks. Here's a short list to review: The team -- do they have the skills and will they remain committed to the company? The market -- will the market continue to grow? The competition -- will there be new competitors that come on the scene we did not count on? The technology -- will the technology landscape change, obsoleting the company's tech? The funding -- will the company be able to continue to raise funding? The intellectual property -- will your IP adequately protect your position in the market? The regulatory environment -- will new regulations come up that negatively impact the company? This often comes up in the life sciences space in which FDA regulations must be achieved. Consider each of these risks in a potential investment. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let's go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact [email protected] Please follow, share, and leave a review.
