- There are some things you’ll never want to say to investors. You’re likely to think they’re smart, but, in the blink of an eye, you’ll have cost yourself a potential investment. Worse yet, you won’t even know why the investor said no.
I don’t want that to happen to you. That’s why in today’s video, I’ll explain what are the ten things you can never say to investors, why you can’t say them, and what you should say instead. I hope you like it.

This is the first video I've watched about seeking startup funding where nearly everything you said is a trap I would have fallen into. Thank you for explaining some common pitfalls when pitching to investors and how to avoid them.
You're welcome, Michael. I'm glad you found this video useful.
I learned that its important to always tell the truth and avoid jokes when pitching.I also need to understand my competitors well.
Thanks for adding your thoughts, Fred. Spot on.
As I adventure into the world of startups, I’m so glad I found this channel. This was profound advice. Thank you!!
I am happy you find the channel valuable!
I learned before watching this video that you always start high with your estimate of costs. Then things can be negotiated down or, if you get the quoted amount, and you can complete the process under budget you have happy investors.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Tons of value here. I completely revamped my pitch deck following your template... wasn't easy to break it all down to that level, but the result is significantly better.
Glad to hear it! Best of luck with your fundraising.
Don't say you're the next big thing
Don't try to compare yourself to another established company
Also thanks for the information about the exiting strategy
Great video! I really like your cadence and pauses. You’re a fantastic speaker and I look forward to more useful content.
Thanks for your kind words. I am glad you liked the video.
Absolutely amazing info. Clear, crisp and well presented.
Thanks for the kind words. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
I learned to be true with the start cost of a business and business means business especially when presenting business to investors because you never know if they are in a good mood for your jokes.
Glad you found the video helpful.
Great reminder that competition >= status quo.
Change takes energy, and if resourcing is tight then you are competing against the old ways of doing things.
Thanks @brettFox for the content.
You'e welcome, Chris. I'm glad you found this useful!
Great piece there sir. Thank you
Thanks for your advice, Brett 👍
You're welcome. I'm glad you found this video useful.
Thanks, Brett! Pitching tomorrow
Best of luck Onkar!
This are great points i've just learnt, added this knowledge to what i thought i knew. Now i know what i should/shouldnt say.
Great. I'm glad to be of help, Jennifer.
5:00-5:15
That's a very good response!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked that!!
Amazing content. I learned the importance of my numbers. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words, Orkun!
Thank you, subscribed. I’m a major disruptor. I’m all alone. I can’t wait to find the right investor. New way of doing things and replicable.
Best of luck on your startup journey, Brandon.
Really an eye opener
Great points there Brett - 'The exit will take of itself' 👍 - 'Always tell the truth', I had a board of obstructionist directors who repeatedly would embellish the minutes, lie at the AGMs and pretty much set the investor/sharholders against me, and no matter what I did to prove the lies (including their own evidence of false reporting of motion votes) I could not get my shareholders to believe the truth.
Good job Brett, you should have a million plus subscribers 😀
Thanks for the kind words, Murray. I am so sorry you had to deal with obstructionist directors. A bad board and/or bad investors is the one thing that is almost impossible for any startup to overcome. It sucks!
@@BrettFoxstartupceo It sucks alright - Sent a good venture down the shute and wasted several years of my (valuable) time. Still, I have learned heaps, just a shame I am not 20 years old anymore, so I could take the experiences further into my life 😐
Truly amazing content!!
Thanks for your kind words. I am glad you are getting value from my videos.
Thank you....
you're welcome, Anthony

I'll also like to know what it will cost me to be a student in your class? Thanks 🙏
Yes, you can print the article. I have several different options, go to www.brettjfox.com for more information and to apply.
Great share!🔥
Thanks for your kind words. I am glad you found this video useful.
Yes, very good video. I can see how I would have made at least 1 or 2 of these mistakes.
I learned what I need to edit out of my pitch deck. Thanks
Great! Glad to hear it, Peter. Best of luck raising money!
Thanks. Such a great video with immense value. Cheers 🍻 🇳🇦
I'm glad you found value in the value.
I'm having all my investors sign NDAs and Invention Assignment Agreements. They are totally fine because I described in simple terms the value of the product. Without those contracts I would have no garentee that my invention would be safe from someone going and manufacturing the product in a foreign country.
Good for you! This is not normal for investors, especially VCS, to do.
