At this talk, Edith Yeung covers:
What do investors want?
What do founders want from your 1st pitch meeting?
What should a founder say and do in the first pitch?
What should a founder NOT to say or do in the first pitch?
What should a founder ask a potential investor?
What should a founder do to follow up?
