Questions

Hi! We are building a webapp that will revolutionize the productivity market. We have deployed an MVP and received seed investing for 50K USD. In order to take out app to the next level we will need to raise 500K. We are from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raising that sum at reasonable equity here is difficult for start ups. So we are thinking of going to Silicon Valley in 3 months to pitch VCs find the right investing. My questions are: 1) Is it difficult for somebody who comes from Argentina to be funded by VCs in Silicon Valley? 2) What do you suggest in terms of scheduling meetings? 3) How should we aproach the VCs and get in touch with them, rather than just google them and send emails to their offices? Thanks for your help!

The short answer is yes! There is a large group of Angel Investors in the SF Bay Area where I am located. I can actually help vet your company to see if a) currently have the traction to get an angel round b) what additions you might need to make in order to be attractive to investors and c) give you some connections I have made over the years. You would not be meeting with VC's as $500k is a Seed or Angel round. As Far as equity I can go over that with you as well. Let me know if you would like to schedule a call. I actually pitched against Mad Video from Argentina if I am not mistaken. We took 2nd and they took 1st in a startup competition in front of 3,000 people.
