FUTURE OF SELLING · JASON LIM
Investor Pitch Coaching in Shanghai for Founders Raising Capital
What if the fund partner in Xuhui forwarded your deck to the investment committee the same afternoon? Imagine a round summed up in one sentence, three numbers that back it, and an ask with a clear amount and use. Even if your last meeting ended with 'keep us posted', the next one can end with a date. It's like a train timetable: the destination, the stops, the departure time.

Are you facing this right now?
Partners say 'interesting' and stop replying.
The product story was clear, and the amount and use of funds were not.
A margin question derails the call.
One hard number arrives early, and the rest of the pitch is spent recovering.
The bilingual call loses detail.
The Mandarin version is sharp, and the English version for a regional fund is thinner.
Time buyers spend with suppliers
17%
When B2B buyers are considering a purchase, they spend only 17% of that time meeting with potential suppliers. When they compare several suppliers, the time with any one sales rep may be only 5% to 6%.
What happens if this continues?
Little of the buying time is spent with you.
Buyers spend only 17% of their buying time with suppliers, so a weak investor pitch has little room to recover.
Friendly partner calls that never reach committee.
The raise stretches into another quarter, and each remaining fund meeting carries more weight.
A use of funds nobody can repeat.
The deck keeps growing while the one-sentence ask stays missing.
The runway is on your mind at night.
Late evenings go to model tweaks instead of rehearsing the call.
Then the partner cannot defend you upstairs.
Your story reaches the investment committee second-hand, and the parts that were vague disappear.
Why do Friendly partner calls that never reach committee and a use of funds nobody can repeat keep repeating and never go away?
Many Shanghai founders pitch the product they love and leave the ask to the end. A partner has to retell your round to an investment committee in a few sentences. If the amount, the proof and the use of funds are not easy to repeat, the retelling fails. It's like posting a parcel with no address label.
How Future of Selling can help
Use the call to give the committee a reason.
Buyers spend only 17% of their buying time with suppliers. Investors are also busy, so a clear first minute matters before the questions start.
Show thesis fit early.
A fund wants to know quickly whether your company fits what it backs. Lead with that, and the rest of the call is about terms, not relevance.
Raise while new firms are setting up.
New foreign-invested enterprises established in China in 2025, 19.1% more than in 2024. Founders selling to those firms can name them as the market they serve.
Pitch corporate venture teams at new headquarters.
Multinational regional headquarters newly certified in Shanghai in 2025. The same communiqué also records 45 newly certified foreign-funded R&D centres in the year. Corporate venture teams there need a pitch they can report upwards.

Buyers who'd rather skip the rep
61%
Of B2B buyers prefer an overall rep-free buying experience, yet for tasks such as judging whether a product or service fits their company's needs, buyers prefer to seek seller input.
