Attracting the right investors to your startup idea can be difficult, especially in the COVID-19 climate. However, raising funds for startup development is necessary if you want to build a sustainable business.

This can make investors apprehensive about financially backing startups that are based on abstract plans and lack concrete development plans.

According to Forbes, companies that presell products and services close 40-50% more leads and retain 80-90% more customers.
