Angel Investors vs Venture Capitalists

"..finding the right fit is not just money it is finding the right partner for your business." The right partner will ask the tough questions, always provide honest feedback, and supports the vision of the company.

Investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity. And not just any investment but an investment with guaranteed returns. Also do proper research and invest with the right approach. Stocks, real estate, Hedge funds and ETFs are good investments as well.

@jay chris You have to start small to grow big. I started from financial market. Didn't have any clue about trading or investment but I'm glad I came across a regulated broker who is my investment advisor and trader. He handles all my trading activities and investment. One thing as a beginner is to have professional guidance at your end. You mustn't invest your time to make profit.

This is great info! Question: my business is 6yrs old and i just signed a 3yr contract to provide goods and services to (4) fortune 100 companies…..projected $14M in revenue over the next 2yrs. I need to raise funds for expansion and scaling the business asap. Should I look for a VC?

[@HalfIdeas]

Depends on the business - goods and services businesses may not be the best fit for a VC. It really depends if you think you can grow the business to a 100M+ business. Expansion and growth capital may be cheaper with a business loan, an SBIR grant or a revenue based financing.

[@MrKayslick05]

@@HalfIdeas so for those that don’t have the annual salary to be an angel investor, what other pathway can they get in? Angel group maybe?

[@HalfIdeas]

I wouldn't recommend angel investing to folks who don't have a solid financial base because startup investing is very risky, speculative and expensive. I would highly recommend learning the basics on public stock trading as a way to learn both investing and finance. That being said Angel Groups, CrowdFunding and Micro-Angel investing can be a way to dip your toe in the water without as much capital at risk.

What if you need about 150-200k? Getting 2 BAs into the company had up and downsides. Would only one BA ever invest this sum? Guess we need to find out

[@HalfIdeas]

If you're raising 150-200K you can either get 2-5 angels to participate or find a pre-seed venture firm. While it is possible to find a single angle to invest 150K, I've found this to be less common.

Hello Greg, I produce films and I am looking to pitch a film that needs a budget of $380K, should I go for an Angel Investor or a Venture Capitalist?

[@HalfIdeas]

I think the film industry is a very different. Pitching a film or a book is really about the specific piece of content and your reputation as a creator to produce a great film and a great return. I think these types of things are pitched to studios or producers who I believe are investors in this form of content. Traditional angel and venture investors would not be interested.

[@Kaizen2013v]

How much should an Angel Investor ask for equity in the company?

[@HalfIdeas]

This depends largely on the size of the investment. In early stages it's common for startups to use a SAFE (Simple agreement for equity) that is capped at a reasonable number. Angels should be very cautious to not be greedy and try to take too much equity. I've seen a number of startups that have sold more than 60% of their equity in very early stages and that can make them un-investable in later stages. Target should be 10-25% per financing round on average (pre-seed, seed, A, B, C, etc.)

[@SarthakJoshi-yl1mb]

Hello sir can single person can allowed to be venture investors of a company or not. If he/ she can able to invest millions of dollars amount in business

[@HalfIdeas]

Typically, a single person investing their own money is called an "angel investor" or if they are investing millions they may be called a "super-angel." Ocassionally angel investors will start a venture fund and will invest some of their own money into the venture fund, when they do this they can call themselves venture investors.

[@DuniaAkhirat2]

I am looking for an angel investor to start my housing project in Surabaya City Indonesia. My housing project on 40.000 square meters and need USD10M

[@HalfIdeas]

You may be looking for just an investor or business partner rather than an "angel investor." If you're building a housing project you're buying/developing an asset and you may be able to project an expected return over a 2-3 year period. Angel investors are typically looking to invest in startups that have the potential to return 10 to 100 times the original investment. Building construction, development, restaurants or renovations are more typical for home development funds or investors specifically looking to invest in real estate.

Half ideas? I am an ideas guy eg tech venture concepts etc but i am also a domain name investor and as such i buy the domain names of my ideas assoon as i have my tech venture ideas etc I have also taught my self how to day trade and swing trade options etc on the stockmarket but as domain names are effectively digital pieces of land on the internet etc domain names are largely digital intangible illiquid assets etc I am looking to try and liquidate some of my donain names to refinance myself so that i can swing trade options on the stockmarket for real etc I am prepared to either sell or pawn my donain name portfolio to an investor in excgange for a day trading fund Thoughts?

[@HalfIdeas]

There are companies that buy domain portfolios. I'm not very familiar with this space but I've always felt that domains speculation is really purchasing a lottery ticket rather than real estate. I think stock investing is more profitable though I personally prefer long-term investment rather than swing trading. Either way it's likely a better return than domain investment.

[@domainnameguy]

@@HalfIdeas Stock investing has one major benefit that domain investing doesnt in as much as a person can buy shares in a stock at a reckonised price and sell at an actual price tgat is tge same across thw world but domain names have two prices eg what a person is prepared to buy a domain name for and what a person is prepared to buy that domain from them etc which is anyones guess plus domains can take time to sell of qt all etc
