Finding the Right Investors for your Company

Finding an investor might not be as difficult as it used to be several years ago, however, finding the right investor is still a tricky concept. One of the most challenging aspects of IR/PR is to find the right investors for the company.

Finding the right institutional investors for your business is crucial to the success of your IR/PR strategy. Not only does it help in adding immense value to your company’s shareholder base but it is also very helpful in raising your company’s corporate profile. When big corporate and institutional investors decide to invest in your business, they are basically endorsing your business. It helps in building a sense of trust among other investors and shareholders as well.

However, finding the right investor is a tough job. You need to develop a dedicated and carefully thought approach to yield good results. You need to find the investor that is right for your business in all sense. He or she should understand your business and industry. The right investor often finds the company’s mission and vision to be something that they are willing to get up and work for. They also understand the kind of challenges that the business might face but are still willing to push on.

In my decades of working with several high profile clients and businesses, I have found that a few strategies work very well when it comes to finding the right investors, such as –

  1. Take the effort to know your potential investors

Getting to know your potential investor is crucial in finding the right investor. You can do so by researching the investor, getting to know the causes they care about and the kind of other investments they have in their portfolio. You can also fix-up meetings with the potential investor to get to know them better. Inviting them to events at your company is a good idea.

  1. Study investors of your competitors

Getting to know your competitors and their investors is also a good step in targeting your right investor. You will be able to gather information that will help you understand the ideal investor that invests in your industry. You will also be able to understand the kind of return expectations they have and the kind of contributions they can make to your business. You will also be able to narrow down on investors that are deeply vested in your industry.

  1. Study investor style and portfolio

A look at your potential institutional investors can reveal a lot about their investing style. It can help you see whether they are a good fit for your business or not. It is also helpful in analyzing the expectations of the investor from their investments. You can draw a lot of conclusions about potential institutional investors regarding their investing style, metrics and industry preferences as well. Not only will this help you in deciding whether they are the right investor for you or not but it will also help in formulating the correct way to approach them.

These are just some strategies that I feel have yielded fantastic results for my clients. And, I would encourage you to try them out when searching for the right investor for your business.

Hope this has been an insightful read.

Wishing you health and success.
