Angel Investing Basics for the Startup Community
Angel investors and investment groups are a major contributor to job creation and economic growth.
Sustainable job creation will come from the continued development of early stage companies with high growth potential. According to research by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, over the last 25 years nearly all net new jobs were created by companies less than 5 years old.
Angel Investors have a huge impact on early-stage company growth and job creation because they provide nearly 90% of all outside equity for startups. Angel investors tend to invest in companies with the potential for high growth (think the early days of Google, Facebook and Starbucks).
Startup Support Professionals can increase the value of their services to clients and constituencies when they can more effectively advise them on how and why angel investors behave the way they do. Professionals such as incubator managers, economic development staff, and university personnel, all have important roles in growing successful companies. The deeper your knowledge is about the fundamentals of angel investing the better positioned for success your clients will be.
Entrepreneurs who attend this seminar are likely to be better prepared for raising investment. Knowing how and why angels behave and execute their process will make the funding process more efficient and allow more time to focus on your business.
Angel Investing Basics for the Startup Community is designed for non-angel investors who want to have a deeper impact on job creation. This full-day seminar provides a deep overview of the angel investing process and its vital relationship to the growth of early stage companies and economic development.
Angel Investing Basics for the Startup Community covers the following five modules: (1) An overview of angel investing, (2) Due diligence, (3) Valuation of early stage companies, (4) Term sheets, and (5) How to connect to angels.
Angel Investing Basics for the Startup Community presents the fundamentals of angel investing in an interactive classroom-style format that includes presentations, a panel and case studies.
