Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investors seeking more deal flow should look to their own network. Here are some steps to find deals from your contacts: Identify the type of startup you want to fund.\xa0 Search for contacts related to that sector and domain.\xa0 You\u2019ll find experts with deep knowledge of the technology, as well as those who know the major players in the industry. Follow-up with them to learn more about the up-and-coming companies in the industry. Talk with other investors for any deals they\u2019ve seen, both those they invested in, and those they\u2019ve passed on. Seek out business brokers, M&A advisors, and investment bankers who see deal flow on a regular basis for potential deals to pursue. Talk with those who hold business development and corporate development titles as they often see early-stage startups. From these contacts, identify common references to startups in your sector. Follow the funding news for your area or sector to see who is getting investment and then research those companies to find where they came from. Trace them back to the source which could be employees coming from a large company, a university, or other. To attract more deals you can build out a blog, website, or online portal. You can run an event series to bring people together for networking, education, or funding. This lets you tap into your network in an ongoing consistent way. \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
