Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. As a startup investor, you will find there are many deals to consider. In fact, there are too many startups to diligence and pursue. You want to build quality deal flow channels that meet your criteria and screen out the noise. Quality sources often have experienced entrepreneurs working on their second and third businesses. While accelerators, incubators, and universities provide an important function in the startup community, the vast majority of startups from these programs are not ready for investment.\xa0\xa0 In most cases, they need at least a year before they are ready for investors.

In your network, you\u2019ll find some investors have developed relationships with professional groups that provide quality startups.\xa0 Set up relationships with these sources to maintain your deal flow.\xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let\u2019s go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: \xa0 Check out our other podcasts here: \xa0 For Investors check out: \xa0 For Startups check out: \xa0 For eGuides check out: \xa0 For upcoming Events, check out \xa0 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group\xa0\xa0 Music courtesy of
