Angel Investor Funding

Many individuals and companies have found themselves lost as to how to go about getting angel funding let alone what is expected or required to be successful in the venture.

Angel investors should be pursued after you have gone through the bootstrapping phase and have exhausted all small funding options such as personal, family and friends.

When Angel Investors decide to take on a project one can look to see Angels inject anywhere between $150,000 to $5,000,000. If you are looking to acquire more you would now be in the realm of venture capital funding which is another ball game all together.

Angel Investors look at companies that have ten distinct features before they invest their capital and their time. They are:

1. The company must be able to show a clear path to profitability.

2. The management team that is in place should be a solid competent team that shows the ability to chart a company through to a profitable destination.

3. The business model must be scalable and show potential for extraordinary growth.

4. The Business concept must be realistic and based on realistic markets.

5. Every venture that is to be taken seriously must show a competitive edge or capitalization on a niche market combined with technical superiority that sets it apart.

6. The product or service must reflect the anticipated acceptance by the consumer market along with a clear market need.

7. The financial projections must be realistic not hyper inflated or underestimated.

8. The company valuations should be realistic.

9. The concept or business model must be clear and well articulated in essence a clear picture of your business has to be painted.

10. Most important is the Exit Strategy which should be clearly defined and show a clear path for financial return.

Angel Investor funding can be a difficult process at best but it is attainable. The pursuit of funding is something to be pursued after your business model has shown the ability to garner traction (make money).

In the midst of pursuing capital you must not just sit on your laurels and wait for the right investor, but continue to build your business model and concept. And if you don't quit you will succeed.
