What Every Student Entrepreneur Needs to Know to Succeed (6) Relationships w/Investors
This is part of my Series on Student Entrepreneurship
In the previous posts in this Series we established the mindset and awareness required, the immersion you need to inititate in your local startup ecosystem, what you need to do to acquire subject matter expertise, how to develop a social media presence, and the importance of finding a mentor, all with the objective of greatly increasing your chances of success as an entrepreneur.
In the second post in this series I encouraged you to immerse yourself in your local startup ecosystem so as to get out of that “school bubble” and into the action. I am going to elaborate here, specifically with regard to cultivating relationships with angel and venture capital investors.
**Before I continue, however, remember- overall your goal should be to form real and lasting relationships with quality people in your city’s ecosystem and beyond. You’re not just meeting people to transact with them! You’d be amazed how many people do this.**

Whether your startup ends up requiring friends family money, angel money or VC money is immaterial. Rest We recommend you visit the following site for more complete information and related topics.
