I really find Midwestern investors very interesting to talk to. While the broader trends are the same throughout the US, I find Midwestern investors to be uniquely pragmatic. Their feet are much more firmly planted on the ground. We see a lot of investors in the Midwest very interested in good fundamentals business. They’re often more interested in capital efficient startups. Early exits at modest multiples are much more acceptable with Midwest investors.
If you want to build a Unicorn startup or get financing from outside your own geography, that is perfectly acceptable today too. As an entrepreneur building your startup in the Midwest, however, you may have more financing options within your own geography with investors looking for more reasonable investment and outcomes.
Raising money is a low probability game. You need to understand how investors think to be able to raise money successfully for your startup.
During this course, I will be teaching how investors in the Midwest of the United States think about and analyze startups. We will have in-depth conversations around startups with several real world investors.
Designed for tech entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs interested in building startups in the Midwest, this course provides insights into the minds of several investors operating in this region for many years in their own words.
We hope you will join us.
The 1Mby1M courses are all heavily based on interview-based case studies on Innovation, Business Models, Go To Market Strategies, Validation Principles, and various other nuances of an entrepreneur’s journey. We offer extensive opportunities for entrepreneurs to learn the lessons from the trenches from successful entrepreneurs who have done it before and Investors who support their ambition.
