What Angels Look For
• High anticipated growth rate• Experienced management team• Sustainable competitive advantage• Barriers to entry• Clear strategy for commercialization• Proof of concept or enterprise level validation• Business model anchored in Reality• Investor exit strategy
Five types of Angel Investors
1. The Coach Angel Investor2. The Do’er Angel Investor3. The CEO of a Public Company Angel Investor4. The Spectator Angel Investor5. The Boss Angel Investor
Three factors that appear to impact investor outcome
• Due diligence time: More hours of due diligence positively related to greater returns
• Experience: An angel investor's expertise in the industry of the venture being invested
• Participation: Angel Investors that interacted with their portfolio companies at least a couple of times per month mentoring, coaching, providing leads and monitoring performance experienced greater returns.
The Application Process
• Start with www.mapleleafangels.com• There is a full education section for
entrepreneurs• You apply using www.gust.com• Selection Committee• Monthly Member Meetings• Due Diligence• Term Sheet
Target Investee Companies
• Companies who are in seed and early stage, two for each meeting if the quality can be found
• In technology, provided they are backed by a member who is willing to sponsor
• Great management team, valuation, technology .......
Selection Criteria
• The stage, quality of the management team, valuation and technology of companies are more important than the sector criteria
• Quality is more important than quantity• The best of the best should only present and the
number of companies presenting should be limited to one or two, introduced by someone who is willing to sponsor or lead the investment and due diligence process
Selection Criteria
• Select the very best in seed and early stage• Seed investment amounts should be from $250k to
$500K and early stage investments should be from $350k to $1,500K
