Internet retailers that have figured out the E-Commerce market are being handed bags of cash from venture capitalists.
Well, hold on their partner, VC’s are not giving money away just to anyone. They have a set of metrics and criteria they follow when evaluating an E-Tailer.
Here are some key factors that they are looking at when evaluating E-Tailers:
How fast are you growing?
What are your month-over-month growth rates?
How disruptive is your company in your market and to your competitors?
How addictive is your company to your customers?
Who are your employees (employees are the cornerstone of your company)?
In addition, having the right lawyers also matters a lot. Lawyers that do not have enough experience in the venture capital process actually help to slow down the progress, but experienced lawyers in this area not only speed up the deal but also help find the right VC’s for you. Having a great lawyer is a big plus when shopping for venture capital funding.
