Investor Panel preparation worksheet
Investor-panel pitch practice: four investors with different styles grill your numbers, make offers in dollars for equity, counter, and drop out. Negotiate your way to a deal, or walk away. Prepare your first attempt using the same skills your practice scorecard evaluates: Pitch clarity, Know your numbers, Deal negotiation, Composure & likability.
How to use this tool
- Choose one real situation. Write accurate facts and your intended outcome; leave uncertain details marked for review.
- Draft short responses in your own voice. You are preparing to communicate, so write what you would actually say rather than a perfect script to memorize.
- Rehearse one skill at a time: State your ask and business clearly; Defend the numbers without inventing them; Compare the panel’s offers and terms.
- Download your notes. Then use a live roleplay to test the response under follow-up questions and review the feedback on the words you used.

What to look for when you rehearse
- State your ask and business clearly. Compare your first wording with your next attempt. Identify the actual phrase, question, or example that improved this skill, and explain why it helped.
- Defend the numbers without inventing them. Compare your first wording with your next attempt. Identify the actual phrase, question, or example that improved this skill, and explain why it helped.
- Compare the panel’s offers and terms. Compare your first wording with your next attempt. Identify the actual phrase, question, or example that improved this skill, and explain why it helped.
After each attempt, review one useful moment and one missed opportunity. Use your scorecard’s quoted words to choose a specific change. A score is feedback on the practice sample, not a prediction of success outside the simulation.
