General Funding / Business Angel networks question

Posted by weisheimer on April 17, 2009 under Miscellaneous | Be the First to Comment

I do agree: 10 times is probably enough...
Business Angels are highly selective, but they are usually quicker than
VC/investment funds...
They have the merit of assuming the first risk, therefore they need this
kind of high return as mentioned by Brian.

Happy to help as well if appropriate.
Enjoy the week-end!

Bill,

If you imagine Angel Investing is (by necessity) highly risky, and
therefore the investors will want to compensate for the minimum 5 – 10
failures for each successful investment they make. They’ll look for 10
to 30 times a return on their investment over a 5 year period.

Dear Businessmen
What sort of ROI do these people want? They cannot

be doing it for charity or........?

Hardeep,

In addition to Chris’s and others’ well informed comments, you could try
Venture Capital and Private Equity Directory
<http://www.privat...; I cannot vouch for its
completeness or accuracy but I recognize many of the entries as
accurate.

Why did you ask?

Hardeep,

You will not find a directory of angel investors; a majority of whom are
private and don’t want huge numbers of business plans in their inbox.
There is however a good directory of angel networks available at
www.bbaa.org.uk <http://www.bbaa.o...; . These networks act as
gatekeepers to their angel members.

The BVCA - http://www.bvca.c... is the place to go for a directory of
venture capital and private equity houses.

Best Regards,

Chris

Barbara Hi,

Interesting question on funding - I have a follow up question actually
but in the same space.

Does anyone know of ONE PLACE where you can find details of the various
business angels / private equity firms / potential investors that exist?

It strikes me that there are a number of people with ideas on this group
- but not as many people that are looking for ideas to invest in and I
think it would be incredibly useful to know how to contact these
investors...

Thanks kindly.

Hardeep.
