Muhammad recently spoke to Dynamic Business about raising funds for start-ups and what investors are looking for.

“It sounds appealing to invest in an already established business. It is because large companies provide stability. However, the returns in stocks and investments can be shallow. Small businesses such as restaurants, retail etc fail to interest any investors, although potentially they can take loans from banks and lenders.

“On the contrary, the returns can be much higher to invest in scalable companies. Tech startups are great examples. Over the last two decades, tech startups have done wonders for investors and lenders. Even though there are risks associated with startups, the return on investment is anywhere from 3X to 10X. 

“Nonetheless, scalability and returns can be much higher for investors. Broadly, tech investors understand the risk and know if one investment wins, it will cover other investments. A few things intelligent angel and venture capital investors seek include: Uniqueness of concept, Scalability to different markets, Founder experience, Pitch deck and go to market plan, Team.

“In conclusion, it depends on the type of investor. If the investor has a conservative approach, he should opt for already established companies and stocks. However, if the investor understands the tech and is ready to take a chance with enormous growth, investment returns can be extremely high.”
