When you look for partner pay attention to what they say. If the first thing they ask you how much will they make and how fast will they make money and how are they going to make money. Then he or she is not the right partner. Look for these values in investment partner, how can we add value, how can we improve the product and services. The partner that cares more about the value of the company knows exactly when, how much and how they are going to make money. If your partner ask you how much is the investment then tell him or her and try to see if he has any suggestion in raising capital. A partner that adds value are the ideal investment partners.

Investment partners that are not honest

An investment partner that is honest are those who only cares about value adding rather than his own benefit. If your partner has some suspicious behaviors and if he or she avoids transparency then he is hiding something and he only cares about his own benefit rather than adding value to the company.
