@HalfIdeas2 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

How much should an Angel Investor ask for equity in the company?
@HalfIdeas2 жыл бұрын
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.)

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.

@HalfIdeas Жыл бұрын
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.

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.
