108: Investing in Materials Science Research (ft.Keong Chan)
Two words: Investors. Startups.
So you’ve made a new thing. Or maybe it’s a new process, a new technology, a different approach to the norm. You decided to take this innovation in stride, pivoting and making a startup company centered around your work. But one small problem: you can’t afford to keep the lights on at your startup’s HQ. You ran out of capital. You needed investors, but no one was interested in funding your idea. Why? How can you fix this?
In today’s episode, we welcome two guests: Keong Chan, Co-Director at OTB Ventures, and Kyle Matthews, a familiar member of the It’s A Material World team. We dive into the world of investors, and how MSE’s can build a stronger business mindset. Specifically, we discuss:
🔹How informal settings can enhance your networking
🔹What traits investors look for in startup leaders & teams
🔹The role of an investor after money has been invested
🔹Investor-founder relationships
🔹And much more!
We hope you enjoy the episode! And as always, let us know what topics you’d like us to cover next!
