Topics Covered:
Venture, Angel and Startup Investing: Learn what is venture investing and the type of funding available for entrepreneurs. What is the difference between angel investors and venture capital firms? Angel Investor or Private Investor is an individual, mostly high net worth, usually with business experience, who directly invests part of his or her personal assets in new and growing unquoted businesses. Venture capital investment firms can provide the seed money for high-risk, start-up companies. People called venture capitalists run these firms, and make the investment decisions. Besides money, venture capitalists can also provide support through advice, human resource management and even office space for a business they invest in.

Difference Between Angel Funding & Venture Capital :Learn What is Angel Investing, how it works in comparison to venture capital. Angel investors specialize in early-stage businesses, while VC firms are generally more unwilling to invest in startups unless they show really compelling promise and growth potential. Angels investors are primarily there to offer financial support. While they might provide advice if you ask for it, or introduce you to important contacts, they are not obliged to do so. Their level of involvement depends on the wishes of the company and the angel’s own inclinations. A venture capitalist looks for a strong product or service that holds a strong competitive advantage, a talented management team, and a wide potential market. Once venture capitalists are convinced and have invested, it is then their role to help build successful companies, which is where they add real value.
How To Create Startup Investment Deal Flow:Learn how to create a deal flow for venture investments if you are an angel, family office or a syndicate. There are not enough good companies and there is so much money chasing good founders. The success of an angel investor is to get into the top 5% of the deals.

Valuation of startups is an art or science:learn equity dilution Valuation matters to investors as they are getting the company share in lieu of the money they are going to spend. How does an early-stage investor value a startup? One of the most frequently asked questions at any startup event or investor panel, is “how do investors value a startup?”. Expect lower valuations during a recession and higher in boom times when there is more competition for investment. Startup valuations may also be adjusted up or down based on the strength of the management team, location of the business, industry or market. Valuation is an important topic for angel investors. It helps to get as much information as possible to make good early-stage investments. A good valuation will probably leave both the investor and you satisfied, but not overly happy.

Post Investment Engagement With Portfolio Companies:Investors who interacted with their investment portfolio companies at least a couple of times a month experienced greater results. Interaction could be in the form of mentoring, coaching, overseeing and monitoring performance as well as providing leads. Investors sit on startup boards, not one but lots of them. Sitting on boards is not just a means for investors to monitor their investments; it’s also a formal platform from which to offer expertise and value without interfering in day-to-day operations. But out of all the services a VC can offer, many investors agree that help with fundraising, strategy, and recruitment is key.
Designing & Documenting Startup Exit strategies take on different forms, but it is important that startup founders should put an exit plan one in place for their early investors. While investors continue rooting and supporting the invested company business, they are looking for a return on their capital invested. Founders presenting a clear, concise exit strategy in their pitch shows that they are serious. It indicates that they have thought about the investor’s role in the company and the value the investor will provide, not just getting them to write founders a check. Planning an exit is definitely a distracting process as you are running a business in parallel. An investment banker can often provide leverage throughout the process. Hire one for your exit outcomes.
