Can You Do It?

That according to Charlie Paparelli of Paparelli Ventures is the question going through an angel investor's mind during the first one on one meeting with an entrepreneur.  Cindy Cheatham has a full write up over on PeachSeedz.

The three step process Charlie laid out to get the first meeting were;  1.  Get ready to pitch by clearly understanding the opportunity, how to exploit it, and build the team to do it;  2. Qualify investors (and Charlie's web site does a great job of laying out the type of entrepreneur he wants to talk to); and 3.  Pitch. 

Make an investor believe that you can do it and you will get the second meeting and more.
