SL Angels

"Why would you invest in us?" the young founder asked, clearly nervous. The angel investor smiled, leaned forward, and said, "Because you remind me of myself 20 years ago—ambitious, full of ideas, and ready to change the world." That investor was none other than Jeff Bezos. The startup? Google. Back in 1998, two Stanford PhD students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, were seeking early-stage funding for their project—a new search engine. They had the tech, the vision, but not enough money to fuel their growth. Jeff, though deeply involved in building Amazon, saw potential. Despite not being an expert in search engines, he made a bold move. As Bezos would later say, “I knew investing in these two young visionaries was high risk, but it had high potential. The best investments come from a combination of intuition, research, and a little luck.” His intuition paid off. A $250,000 angel investment turned into billions when Google skyrocketed, becoming the cornerstone of the internet as we know it today. Angel investing is more than just numbers—it's about vision. As Warren Buffett once said, “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree long ago.” Angels don’t just invest money; they invest belief in founders who dare to think big. Sometimes, that belief changes the world. 🌍 #AngelInvesting #Startups #Founders #Innovation #BeTheChange

Don't keep waiting to build the team for your small business. Just start, people will join, as your business grows, your team will keep growing.

As we strive for success, it's easy to get caught up in focusing on the end result. But what if I told you that's exactly what's holding you back? Famous coach John Wooden once said, "It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen." This wisdom rings true in all aspects of life. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna advises Arjuna to focus on the process, not the outcome, when he says, "You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work." (Chapter 2, Verse 47) When we focus solely on the outcome, we can get discouraged by setbacks and lose sight of what's truly important. Instead, make the process your goal. Concentrate on the daily habits, the small wins, and the progress. Thomas Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." He didn't focus on the light bulb; he focused on the experimentation process. As the renowned poet Rumi said, "The wound is the place where the light enters you." Focus on the process, and the light will shine through in the outcome. Athletes who concentrate on perfecting their craft, not just winning the game, mostly win. Entrepreneurs who focus on building a solid business model, not just securing funding perform better than others. Artists who prioritize honing their skills, not just creating a masterpiece, always excel in their field. By making the process your goal, you'll find joy in the journey, learn from failures, and ultimately achieve success. So, shift your mindset. Focus on the process, and the outcome will take care of itself. Did you know that Elon Musk had enough capital to build only three rockets when he started SpaceX? But instead of focusing solely on the outcome of reaching orbit, he concentrated on perfecting the process of building and launching rockets. Through rigorous testing, learning from failures, and iterating on designs, Musk and his team developed a robust and efficient process. This focus on process led to the successful launch of the Falcon 1 rocket on the fourth attempt, and eventually, to numerous groundbreaking achievements in space exploration. Musk's success is a testament to the power of prioritizing the process over outcome. By concentrating on the daily habits, small wins, and progress, he was able to achieve what many thought was impossible. As Musk himself said, "When something's important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor." Focus on the process, and the outcome will take care of itself." #processoveroutcome #successmindset #focusonthelittlethings #bhagavadgita" Let me know your success mantra in the comments.

Meet Terry Fox, the Real Life Hero. He lost his leg due to cancer at the age of 18. His life came upside down, he was a successful Basketball player. His career was gone. Doctors advised him complete bedrest, but he thought of other people who were suffering from cancer and the people who will suffer in the future. He took a lot of pain and started practicing to walk with an amputated leg. Later, he started running for spreading awareness and raising funds for the cause. At that time the population of his Country Canada was 24 million. He set his goal to raise $1 per person in Canada. You can imagine the value of $24 million in 1980, it would be a billion dollars today. He was Terrance Stanley Fox also known as Terry Fox. Because of running, the cancer started spreading fast. Can you imagine he kept on running for 5,373 kilometres with an amputated leg and weak body due to cancer and its treatment. Finally he achieved his goal of $24 million fundraise for the cancer patients, but it cost him his own life. We should never forget him, a real selfless hero who dedicated his life for the World. His NGO called Terry Fox Foundation has raised another billion dollars after he left this World. Let's remember him and take inspiration to work hard, despite all the odds and care for the World. #inspiration #hardwork #terryfox #canada

Never just say, "I'm looking for funding." Always share this information without asking, whenever you ask for funding: 1. Last month revenue 2. Product 3. Price and Price Comparison 4. Market Size 5. Funding Required 6. Is there any VC funded company in competition? What's their revenue? 7. Any previous funding? Lead investors? Don't expect the investors to ask this, it's obvious they need it for sure.
