![Katie Rae, managing director of TechStars Boston and co-founder of the Boston Startup School said this was the best-dressed [tech] audience she had spoken to. But that was the least impressive attribute this crowd possessed. The room was filled with 100 or more women who had executive level backgrounds on Wall Street, in politics, IT and education. Rae advised FOCUS 100 attendees to ask themselves a few questions when it comes to potential investors:
Who is on the founding team? Her advice: You cannot do a high growth company alone.
What are your team dynamics? Does the team have the perseverance to stick it out together?
Do you know how to fail? Learning from your mistakes and moving forward is a very important pattern investors look for.
Lastly, she urged the tech crowd to write to potential investors about what’s getting done.](http://cdn3.blackenterprise.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2012/10/FOCUS100-Crowd-shot-e1349735020645.jpg "FOCUS100 2")
