**Team, Vision, and Product**
According to Ben, when evaluating startups, the most important factor for investors is the team. However, at Breega, they also analyze the startup’s vision and the product. A successful startup must have the right team with drive and complementarity, a unique vision that transforms the world, and a product that delivers on that vision.

Building relationships with investors is key to maximizing your chances of getting funded. Start by reaching out to friends, family, and business angels, and make sure to sell your vision, your product, and your story.
In today’s ecosystem, there are more points of contact than ever before, including LinkedIn, media outlets, and events. But even with more access, building a personal connection with investors is the best way to stand out and get noticed.

In 2020, despite the challenges of Covid-19, funding increased, and it is expected to continue to grow in 2021. While there is more money available for good projects, it’s important to note that investors are concentrating on fewer, bigger bets.
