Startup Boards -- Startup Investor Skills -- Evaluating the Team Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startup investors need to hone their skills in order to succeed over the long run. Key skills include:\xa0 Evaluating teams. Assessing products and markets. Accessing financial capital, not only for the current round of funding but for later stages. Managing a portfolio of startup investments, including supporting the startup and generating exits. So for the team, the basis of any relationship is integrity.\xa0\xa0 The team needs to be in it for the long haul. Startups are the ultimate marathon game. They need to know their market and their customer -- very well. Finally, they need to inspire confidence. The CEO, in particular, needs to recruit others to the company including customers, employees, and partners. Those who can inspire others to join the cause will do well.\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\xa0 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group\xa0\xa0\xa0 Please , share, and leave a review.
