When approaching investors, you ought to bear in mind that there are several risks they consider:
Team risk: Is your team competent enough to create and run the business?
Market risk: is that the market large enough or growing fast enough to be considered promising?
Timing risk: Is it the correct time to enter the market?
But there’s an excellent more important issue – product risk: are you able to convert your business idea into a product vision?

This includes the product’s ability to come up with revenue, to resonate with a particular audience, and its usability and value.

For you, there are two ways to eliminate product risk:

Sell the results – demonstrate that your product works and is ready to get revenue.
