According to Due Founder and CEO John Rampton, your website can be an integral reason why you do or do not raise venture capital money.
He was quoted in Startup Grind as saying, “Your website needs to look nice for investment. If an investor comes to a sloppy website or one that’s not presentable…. just like a customer, it will turn them away. Create a stunning website that converts. Customers and a good investor equal investment. If you don’t have customers – which a website will significantly help with – chances of getting investment get slimmer and slimmer.”
The article also provided a list of components and examples of how to make the website worthy of venture capital money, including a value proposition, layout and messaging, social proof, graphic design, lead capture mechanism, contact methods, and interactive content and media.
