This past Wednesday, we hosted a webinar on "Navigating Opportunities in Non-Tech Investments for Angel Investors." Here are some key takeaways from the session: 🔷 To build a resilient and rewarding portfolio, it is crucial for angel investors to balance their investments across both tech and non-tech sectors, as these have distinct risk-reward profiles. 🔷A thriving ecosystem relies on the interplay between tech startups, which drive innovation, and non-tech businesses or SMEs, which provide a steady customer base and cash flow stability for the ecosystem. 🔷Investing in defensive sectors—such as the food industry—adds security, as these sectors fulfil essential needs and are less vulnerable to market fluctuations. 🔷The environment you choose to invest in is critical, as it greatly influences the potential for favourable returns. 🔷As an angel investor, actively champion the growth and success of the businesses you support. 🔷Capacity building for non-tech business owners is essential, as it helps address concerns that investors might want to take over their businesses. 🔷Understanding the inner workings of a company is key to selecting the most suitable investment instruments for your investment strategy. 🔷Non-tech businesses also offer unique advantages over tech ventures, such as access to a broader range of investment instruments. 🔷Positive cash flow potential, contributing to quicker returns and reduced risk. Ensure a solid foundation in unit economics to drive sustainable growth and profitability. You can catch the entire conversation here: https://bit.ly/40yDTGU #Angelconnect #Nontechdeals #Innovation
