Startup Funding Espresso – How To Start Angel Investing

How To Start Angel Investing

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

First-time investors often wonder where to begin in angel investing.

Some join angel groups or syndicate funds.

Others start looking for deals to invest in.

Either way, here are some key steps to start angel investing:

Figure out what type of deal you want to fund, including sector and stage.

Look for sources of dealflow that provide those leads.

Many join clubs and networking groups that attract those types of companies.

Identify a few key criteria in the startup that signal potential success.

This could be a large target market, an experienced team, a disruptive technology, or other. 

Start with small investments to test the waters.

If the startup does well, then consider additional investments in those companies.

Look for patterns among the startups that point to success.

Once you have a process that works, set up a system for reviewing deals, diligence the ones that fit, and tracking the funded ones.

Consider setting up your own syndicate fund.

Invite other investors to join in the companies you are funding.

Consider these steps to start angel investing.
