It emphasizes the importance of preparation, quoting Abraham Lincoln's adage about sharpening the axe. The document provides a detailed explanation of basic Boolean operators used in Google searches to enhance search precision, including quotation marks for exact phrases, AND, OR, the minus symbol for exclusion, `intitle:` to find terms in titles, and `filetype:` for specific file formats. These operators are crucial for customizing searches and achieving the best results. The presentation then identifies best sources for investor leads, such as investment conferences, financing rounds and press releases, competitor websites (specifically checking their boards of directors), and LinkedIn. A significant portion is dedicated to utilizing LinkedIn, highlighting its frequent updates, the openness of its users to new opportunities, its Boolean search capabilities, and its advanced search features. The document further details the objectives of the research process: identifying new potential investors, understanding and determining investor fit, comprehending different investor types, and pinpointing the best contact person and appropriate communication strategy. It also addresses how to identify genuine capital providers, warning against intermediaries like I-Banks and consultants who may impersonate investors to generate business. Key indicators to assess investor authenticity include checking if they have a portfolio of companies and recognizing that entities labeled as \"Networks\" and \"Advisors\" may not actually invest themselves, prompting the need to check other sources for verification.",{"@graph":63,"@context":118},[64,80,101],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":51,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/researching-global-investors/258005/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/researching-global-investors/258005.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Ezra","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-21","2026-09-13",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":76},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",{"@type":102,"mainEntity":103},"FAQPage",[104,110,114],{"name":105,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":107},"What are the basic Boolean operators used for searching?","Question",{"text":108,"@type":109},"The basic Boolean operators for searching include quotation marks (\") for exact phrases, AND, OR, the minus symbol (-) to exclude terms, intitle: to search within titles, and filetype: to specify file types.","Answer",{"name":111,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What are the best sources for finding investor leads?",{"text":113,"@type":109},"The best sources for investor leads include investment conferences, financing rounds and press releases, competitor websites (by checking their boards of directors), and LinkedIn.",{"name":115,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What steps are involved in researching global investors?",{"text":117,"@type":109},"The research process involves identifying new potential investors, understanding their fit, determining different investor types, and identifying the best contact person and the appropriate communication strategy.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":78,"og:type":120,"og:title":59,"og:site_name":91,"og:description":61},"article",{"robots":122,"canonical":78},"index,follow",{"doc_id":124,"site_id":56},258005,1789318452,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":127},{"doc_id":124,"user_id":128,"nickname":88,"user_avatar":129,"doc_module":9,"category_id":50,"category_name":51,"doc_title":59,"doc_description":61,"doc_content":130,"file_id":131,"file_url":132,"file_type":133,"file_size":134,"view_count":76,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":9,"is_downloadable":9,"audit_status":9,"page_count":135,"language":136,"language_code":57,"site_id":56,"html_lang":57,"table_of_contents":137,"faqs":138,"seo_title":139,"seo_description":61,"update_tm":125,"read_time":8},1099514068035,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_276721f389ce27ea32af1340a28f341c","Researching Global Investors  \nMichael Quigley, Director of Research, Life Science Nation  \nOutline and Objectives  \nWhere to Start?  \n“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”  \n-Abraham Lincoln  \nBasic Boolean Operators  \n\n| “ ” | Search this exact word or phrase |\n| --- | --- |\n| AND | Both of these words or phrases |\n| OR | Either or both of these words or phrases |\n| - (Minus Symbol) | Does not contain this word or phrase |\n| intitle: | Contains this word or phrase in title |\n| filetype: | Search by file type |\n\n• Used in Google search bar to increase precision of searches  \n• Customize the search to your opportunity  \n• Try multiple different searches for best results  \nBest Sources for Investor Leads  \n• Investment conferences  \n• Financing rounds/press releases  \n• Similar companies websites  \n– Check the board of directors  \n• LinkedIn   \nUtilizing LinkedIn  \n• Frequently updated  \n• LinkedIn users open to new opportunities  \n• Boolean enabled  \n• Advanced search feature  \nOutline and Objectives  \n1.
