Foley Hoag is proud to present “What Investors Want: Inside the Mind of a Colorado Startup Investor,” a session as part of Colorado Startup Week.
Founders spend a lot of time pitching, but few have seen the process from the investor’s side, and even fewer have considered how legal factors shape those decisions. In this session, Foley Hoag attorneys break down how investors in Colorado evaluate early-stage deals, with a focus on the legal structures and terms that drive outcomes. We cover what makes a founding team stand out in due diligence, how investors assess market size and product-market fit through the lens of risk, what traction signals matter at each stage, and why deals with strong fundamentals still fall apart over term sheet issues or cap table problems. If you’re raising or planning to raise, this session gives you a practical look at how investors and their counsel think so you can prepare for the legal review that comes with the check.
