Angel Capital
Angel investors are typically entrepreneurs themselves. They differ from venture capitalists in that they are investing their own hard-earned money into your company rather than that of institutional investors. They typically invest upwards of $25,000 all the way to $500,000.
Here are various sources of angel capital. Don't waste your time chasing investors more than an hour's drive from where your company is situated. Both angel and venture capital investing are face-to-face relationships. If something starts to go wrong at an investment, the investor wants to be able to reach it in no more than an hour's car commute. They do not want to have to jump aboard a plane to hold an impromptu meeting with the management team.
It always amazes us how many first time capital seekers waste dollars couriering business plans overnight to a party on the opposite coast after the briefest of telephone or email conversations. Then they are shocked to realize that even small deals require multiple face-to-face meetings which they cannot afford.
Revenue-based financing is finally emerging as a premiere marketing method for both startups and small businesses looking for expansion capital. Revenue-based financing utilizes an instrument called a Revenue Royalty Certificate to raise capital in the form of a hybrid loan. The RRC eliminates many of the problems that scare off potential investors.
Please notethat this site does not in any way endorse any of these organizations and urges caution and a healthy dose of skeptiscism when dealing with all money middle-men and middle-women.
