Miscellaneous
This episode is part of our EXPERT SERIES, in which we interview experts in the startup and business ecosystem, like investors and lawyers. Today I’m excited to share with you an interview my partner and I did with David Hug, Managing Director at Ringier Digital Ventures, the corporate investment fund of the international media group Ringier. In our conversation we cover many of the questions we asked ourselves as founders when it comes to investors, like “what are the most important factors for investors to invest in our startup?”, “how many customers do we need to have before contacting investors?” and “if an investor is interested, what happens then?”. We loved sitting down with David and getting honest answers from an investment expert, which is why I’m super excited to share this episode with you today, enjoy!
