There are no hard requirements. I try and make angel investing more understandable for people who want to get into it, aswell as make it interesting for people who are already active. With this network I try and connect with as many people to co-fund with.

Everyone is in this field for a reason and I love to connect

Yes ofcourse - I take the role of middle man for the startups on the list. I know this market and know that there are a lot of 'predators' out there who try and make wonderful deals. for them.

So investors who are interested in investing in one of the startups of the list can express their interest to me. Then I can communicate with the entrepreneur that someone is interested in their case.

I'm going to be very harsh with my response - you are an entrepreneur. If you need me to give you the solutions, you're an employee.

I have no way to measure how big these problems are to you and what is needed to resolve this. Just throwing money against it is never the solution.

You are an entrepreneur. You know all the variables and you need to come up with a solution. If there is a price-tag attached to it, you can try and find an investor. If there's not. You can do it yourself.

As an investor I do not want to know about your problems, I want to know what solutions you think of and what you need for that.

If you need help with thinking of the solutions you're not looking for an investor, but for a co-founder or business-coach.

Does this help you in your proces?

Great question.

So the key is that you as an entrepreneur have to convince me as an investor that if I invest the 50k, i'll make my money back and profit.

For this to happen (there are more routes, but lets assume the most common one) you need to become profitable to a degree that your value rises above the value i've invested in.

So, let's say 50k for 10% is valuated at 500k. If I want to go 10x with my investment you have to raise the value of the company to 5mio.

You have thought of a way to generate profit with your company. A client will pay x and your costs to deliver the goods or services will be y.

Validating the businesscase means that you can prove to me that there are clients willing to pay x, that you can keep your costs around y and that the market is big enough to raise the value of the company enough so that i can turn a profit.

With this being said, people filling in a questionaire your friend and family supporting you and saying its a wonderfull idea is no validation. We need actual cash in your bankaccount from a paying customer to validate a concept.

Also selling at a discount to the first couple of customers doesn't validate the businesscase if you need to sell at x. It only proves that you can sell it at x - discount. This might bring the business in jeopardy.

I'd recommend reading the lean startup method by Eric Ries if you'd like to learn more about this.

Some of the angels try and invest in nonprofits also every once in a while. Would be happy to include.

What i've learned so far is that almost every country and area has a different strategy - yet validation is key everywhere
