Why relationships matter in fundraising
A company’s scientific merits and commercial prospects may not be enough to secure investor attention, BioBrokers founder and CEO Valeriia Simanovskaia argues.1 She says trusted introductions can reduce uncertainty for investors more quickly than a presentation alone.1
Simanovskaia says a well-known investment organization asked her to present a company directly because it trusted her judgment and wanted her firsthand perspective.1 She argues that investor relationships grow through consistent communication, delivered milestones and honest handling of setbacks, not a single meeting.1
