What makes each investor say yes?
Abbas offers for the founder (29 times), Farouk for operations (13) and growth (11), Khalil for the founder (14) and operations (10).
The founder is the reason given most often for an offer (79 of 265)
When an investor makes an offer, they often say why. In 265 offers with a stated reason, the founder and the team came first, 79 times. Pick an investor above the chart to see their own reasons.
Abbas backs people: the founder was his reason 29 times. Farouk talks about the business itself, operations (13) and room to grow (11). Khalil does both: the founder (14) and operations (10).
These are the reasons said on air, so they show what each investor values, not a promise. Before the show, prepare the part of your story that matches the investors you most want.
