3. How do you fund your idea or
company when...?
• Business angels are slow?
• Banks rather asks for PNL’s than concept?
• Others think there is no market?
• You need clients more than money?
• We live in a digital connected world?

followers and smart money.
Because 2 business angels onboard is good
But 200 is far, far, FAR better!
