Q

I am currently working on an MVP which i plan to launch in about three months. With proof of concept at hand, I am planning to raise money to scale. What is the best way to find and create a relationship with the right investor now?

You could try to raise capital, however if you have a proof of concept, then launch. Investors like real traction, not speculative. I’ve seen numerous companies validate customer need by building nothing more then a power point slide. Investors like real customer orders. The best way to get to know angels, is to get an introduction from one of the entrepreneurs they’ve already invested in. Just tell em' you’re not raising and you just want to get their feedback. Doing this cold won’t result in a good response. Getting an intro will (if you’re product is interesting).
