SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: building investor relationships that last
DESCRIPTION:Behind every successful venture lies more than a strong idea - it relies on trusted, long‑term relationships with the people who back it.    This Lunch and Learn session takes a closer look at the relational side of investment and demystifies how founders and investors build productive partnerships that last well beyond the first pitch.    Drawing on real‑world examples and common founder challenges, the session explores how communication, transparency and shared expectations influence investor confidence and ongoing support. Students will gain insight into the interpersonal skills that shape early‑stage ventures, even for those who aren't planning to raise investment now.    This session will cover:     	what investors pay attention to beyond financial projections   	how trust, reliability and clarity shape long‑term partnerships   	practical habits for keeping investors informed and engaged   	navigating uncertainty and setbacks without harming credibility   	how relational skills strengthen a founder's long‑term trajectory    The session will conclude with a question and answer (Q&A) session offering space to ask questions about investment, communication or early‑stage venture dynamics. https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/lunch-learn-building-investor-relationships-that-last/
