Avoid Common Mistakes that Make Your Tech Product Uninvestible! If you want investors to say yes, your tech needs to be as strong as your pitch. Many founders unknowingly make critical tech mistakes in the early stages that hurt their chances of securing investment. 

Is your product investible?
❓Are you building on outdated or proprietary software that increases overheads?
❓Do you own 100% of your tech, or is your IP tied to a third-party platform?
❓Will your product scale efficiently, or will technical debt kill your growth?
