12. Excite your investor

Why would anyone invest in your firm if he does not get excited by the whole idea behind it? Compel your investor to like your idea and accept that it is a brilliant one. If you are successful in this, there is barely any trouble that you would get in getting the investments in the right time.

13. Become the idea

“Remember, people are investing in you more than your idea. Businesses are fluid in the startup stage. Which means your personality and background is what really counts,” says Michael Margolis from Get storied. So the entrepreneur must believe in and live the idea to get the required conviction.
