PSD Partners will agree a list of potential funding investors with a client. You may have a potential investor that you specifically wish to talk to; we will add them to the list and make contact for you. While PSD Partners have a list of some 200 investors with an interest to invest, we do not work from a panel and treat each client as the unique funding challenge that it is.

The purpose of the summary and the investor list is to get a client’s business in front of two to three interested investors. PSD Partners will arrange one hour of an investor’s time for a private face-to-face meeting. The first 20 minutes will be your business funding presentation with 40 minutes to discuss the issues of interest for the investor, about your business.
The Investor Presentation
The investor funding presentation must tell the client’s business story in a compelling way, in a 12 slide presentation which must be delivered in 20 minutes.

Investor Meeting and Due Diligence
At this point you will be ready for the investor funding meeting. PSD Partners will accompany you to this meeting and will act as an observer to provide feedback to the business about the meeting and arrange any further information that the investor may require.

An interested investor will conduct a funding due diligence process. This will be an involved process and will require full disclosure by a business of its processes, finances, and other relevant information. It may include external advisors to the investor considering your product, market technology, USP, CSF and finances.

While PSD Partners will assist in this process, it is also an opportunity for the investor and business to come to understand and know each other better and assess the funding fit between the two.
