How to judge the authenticity of investors

1. Analysis from the investment field: If it is an individual investment behavior for the purpose of starting a business, due to the limitation of funds, he lacks investment experience and is not very familiar with many industries, such investors will generally choose niche and popular science and technology projects to invest, such as catering and the like. For enterprises, they generally do not invest in unfamiliar industries, and always pay attention to technical projects related to enterprises or familiar industries. Moreover, during the conversation, technical inventors often find that the investment team of the enterprise has a better understanding of the industry to be invested, and the problems analyzed are extensive and profound. They will use their own experience and resources to examine the authenticity, uniqueness, feasibility, market rate of return and other aspects of a technology to decide whether to buy technology or invest in projects. There is also an investment company that pays more attention to mature projects and buys less pure patented technology for investment. They pursue high market returns and have a keen market vision. Formal investment companies often have successful cases in related fields, and technical inventors can confirm and judge the strength of investment companies through various channels. 2. From a cautious point of view: investment is a meticulous work, and real investors will never easily promise to buy a technology or invest in a project at a price of millions or tens of millions without doing a lot of market research. Moreover, before and after the inspection, investors will raise various questions and opinions about the technical projects of technical inventors, and it often takes a long process from the beginning of contact to the final decision. As we know, the published information of patented technology only shows part of it. If an investor really wants to buy a certain technology, whether through an intermediary or not, he will definitely communicate directly with the inventor of the technology, negotiate more detailed things, and even need to check the samples. For example, many manufacturers tend to cooperate with technology inventors in the form of technology shares. Although it stems from the requirement of reducing risk, it also shows that technology can not be separated from the participation of technical inventors in the development and production process. Some swindlers are very cunning. After the first telephone contact, these fake investors will call the technical inventors every few days to show their rigorous and cautious attitude; Liars will also personally visit the technical projects of technical inventors and pretend to ask some questions. But technology inventors will soon find that the attitude of these fake investors towards technology projects is really too casual, and a very optimistic expression is not "haggle over every ounce" at all, except for money, of course. 3. Investors who cheat big money and small money usually find excuses to ask for money, such as inspection fees, accommodation fees and public relations fees. And even ask technical inventors to pay for dinner. They have only one purpose: to ask for money! Real investors value the market prospect of technology projects, and the investment in preliminary research is necessary, reasonable and insignificant for them. Therefore, technical inventors must not be required to pay some expenses such as investigation fees and accommodation fees during the investigation. If all this money comes from technical inventors, it seems that the other party is not a powerful owner. There are also some investors who invest through intermediaries. It is normal for the intermediary to charge the intermediary service fee (it is another matter to judge whether the investment intermediary is true or false, but the key point is to see whether the intermediary has discussed the service content with the technical inventor in detail after receiving the money). As the main body of investment, investors will not charge any fees to technology inventors. Compared with real investors, some fake investors are also different. They have a formal office and their own website, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. This kind of fake investors often warmly invite technology inventors to their company for interviews. Of course, their purpose is to catch bigger "fish". At this time, they will lure technical inventors to evaluate and so on, thus paying more. 4. Afraid that others don't know their identity, in modern etiquette, both parties generally exchange business cards. But after a simple understanding, real investors will immediately turn the topic to the technical project itself and the topic they really care about, and will not deliberately spend time showing off their identity to the technical inventors. 5. Be familiar with all kinds of background materials, including: first, know the identity of the investor, is it an individual, an enterprise or an investment company? Chinese full name of the company; If it is a multinational investment company, please also indicate the English names of the head office and office. Before cooperation, ask the other party to provide business license, investment authorization certificate, investment qualification certificate and other relevant legal documents; And whether investors have successful investment cases, if so, please give detailed examples (company name, contact person, telephone number, etc.). Finally, we need to know the basic information of the investor, such as company address, website, telephone number and specific contact person. These are some basic information, and real investors are not worried that technology inventors know these facts. If the other party doesn't know how to describe these background materials, or even prevaricate about some things, then it is clear whether it is true or not.
