WSJ on Angel Funding

Posted in Funding/Investing by on the January 16th, 2009

The WSJ did a brief A post on angel funding.

It includes 3 tips when looking for angel funding:

  • Angel investors can be an option for start-ups with the potential to earn high profits.
  • Expect close scrutiny. Many angels are former entrepreneurs and like to be involved and give business advice.
  • Angel investors tend to specialize, so look into their investing history to ensure there’s a good match.

      Very basic tips indeed!

      I’d see Angel Investors as just one option for new start-ups. I’d be foolish for them to just plump for angel investment because its the latest craze. They should fully review their financing needs and then review a number of options that are available to them.

      Entrepreneurs could expect to see closer scrutiny than they may have seen in the past from the banks, but the risk Angel Investors would be higher so that would naturally result in closer scrutiny - don’t forget they’re investing their own money, not their employers’.
