054 - What are investors looking for in a vegan business?

Vegan Business Tribe Podcast

What investors are looking for. There's a lot of money floating around in the vegan sector right now. People are looking to invest in the next Beyond Meat or Oatly but if that's the case, then why can it be so hard to find an investor for your vegan business idea? Few investors will put money into an unproven concept and most won't give you money to see if an idea works just because it's vegan. So David takes a look at what investors are actually looking for in a business and what factors they take into account - and it's not just about your figures.

But that's only half the story. Once you are ready for investment, you need to be able to put all that information into a concise pitch deck or presentation that gives an investor all the information they need at a glance. So what needs to be in that document? How many pages should it be? And how can you use leverage your vegan connection to get an investor to back your mission?
