4 Tips for an Investor-Ready Website
Investors check your website before they take the meeting. Four things your startup site should do to add credibility instead of costing you it.

Most investors will check out your website before taking a meeting, or even before they accept your connection request on LinkedIn. Your website is often the place where you will make your first impression on an investor, so you want to be sure it works for you and not against you. In other words, your website should add to your credibility in the eyes of potential investors. Here are 3 things you should do to make your website investor-ready: 1. Look professional: Even if your website is only a one-pager or a "coming soon", it should feel like someone’s in charge. Clean design, no broken links, no spelling mistakes, no outdated content or links, and definitely no unedited parts or "lorem ipsum". The site should show you’re taking this seriously. If English isn't your first language, don't let it show (there are tools that make that super easy nowadays). 2. Look like a business: Your website isn’t a pitch deck. Investors want to see that you are in business (or on your way to being there). The website should be designed to attract your potential customers and convert them into sales. 3. Use your About page to say what matters to investors: Customers are interested in your solutions to their problem, and investors are interested in your company as a whole. But while your homepage and virtually all of your website should be made for customers, you still have the "about" section to tell your story as a company and signal your strengths to investors. Use it to highlight the strength of your team, especially the founders. Include links to the founders' LinkedIn profiles. Talk about your mission (keep it brief and focused, no fluff). Mention notable investors or advisors you have. 4. The "For Investors" page on your website: You should only add such a page on your website if you are raising capital through equity crowdfunding or a public offering, or if you are aiming to bring in a large number of angel investors. It should offer investors a way to sign up, stay in touch, and get regular updates about your company.
