What is angel investment?
For the entrepreneur, angel investment is one of the best ways to get started to transform a great idea into a competitive venture. Starting a company is more complicated than one can imagine. Funding is usually the easiest part. It takes great perseverance to deal with all the details and unknowns. A strong support system from your family and friends is essential. Overall strategy in product development, sales, marketing, accounting, finance and legal affairs are key areas you should think about. We've started companies and persevered through the unknowns, pains and failure. When we partner with you we bring in the wisdom resulted from what we learned in our own companies - not just from business books. In fact, many successful companies were funded by angels - companies like Google, Cisco, AOL, and Amazon.com.
