Ask HN: Pitching investors, dress attire?

1 pointsby fatalerrorx3about 13 years ago
Hey guys,<p>I've read the article posted several days ago about whether or not you should dress as you would normally for an investor meeting, or if you should spruce yourself up a bit.<p>What do you guys think is the general consensus?<p>I think that if you over-dress, it could be just as bad as if you under-dress. I'm the only techie guy of 3 involved in the company, so what I wear will most likely be different than the others. My typical attire is usually DC sneakers, express jeans and a northface shirt/fleece or t-shirt (comfortable clothes)<p>I'm 23, and this is my first investor meeting, and I'm nervous as all hell, since the potential investor is also some-what technically inclined, so I may be asked more questions than the 2 others.<p>This is an anxious/exciting time, I just want it to go well. It's a startup in an industry that's ripe for disruption (healthcare) and I think we're on the right track and this meeting could be "life-changing" if it goes over well.
