How do I close a pitch meeting?

Jamie Goldstein Partner at Pillar

Pillar VC’s Founding Partner Jamie Goldstein says that when you’re closing a pitch meeting, you want to understand what the next steps are going to look like and what the path might look like toward making an investment. You want to make it clear that you are interested in them as an investor but make sure they understand there are other investors also interested. It’s fair to ask to be put in touch with other portfolio companies that they’ve worked with before that have both succeeded and failed.
