Angel Investing: Some of the Important Rules Have ChangedMike Panesis
Angel investing has changed in recent years due to advancing technology. Where startups once needed over $1 million to start a business, they can now launch for under $100,000 with low-cost online tools and services. This lower entry point has led to a rise in angel groups that provide specialized social networks for entrepreneurs. The Tech Coast Angels is a large angel investing group that reviews 12-20 deals per year across various industries. To attract angel investors, entrepreneurs need to give a compelling pitch covering their solution, market opportunity, team, competition, and financial projections.
