Overview of Angel Investing
Angel groups benefit entrepreneurs through exposure to a wider set of potential investors, and a structured process that facilitates a relatively quick and efficient investment decision. Angel investing represents a significantly large and growing portion of early stage capital available to startup companies.
Is an Angel Investment right for me?
It is important that you understand who we are, how we operate, what we look for in potential investments, and what we expect in return. Angels typically invest between $25,000 and $100,000 per transaction individually, and from $50,000 to $500,000 as a group. They invest in one to four transactions per year. On average, angels are patient, with an average term for holding an investment of five years. For the risk and added value they provide, angels seek returns of at least ten times their investment. In order to achieve this investment return, angels generally require an ownership position of 25 to 50 per cent of the companies in which they invest. We receive many business plan submissions each month. Our funding process involves a thorough screening process where two to three companies are selected to present to our members for funding consideration at a bi-monthly investor meeting.
What we’re looking for
We evaluate based on management team, market opportunity, growth potential, as well as other factors. To stand out from the rest of the crowd, make sure that you meet our investment criteria and that you are fully prepared with a polished business plan and presentation.
