Our Education Technology startup is dedicated to simplifying and enhancing higher learning experiences, spanning SHS, College, University, Grad School, Review School and Law School, while making them more accessible, affordable, and enjoyable. We are seeking the support of an Angel Investor to propel our mission forward as we continue to refine and test our MVP. The amount is only $20,000.

Hi! Any NYC angel investors here in the consumer space? I'm building looknforgroup.com, an app looking to combat loneliness by allowing you to find things to do with other people spontaneously, and I'm looking to continue working on this full-time and put 100% of my time into acquring users.

I could go back to getting a job but figured while I'm searching, why not see if I can find someone willing to bet on me and what I'm going to do, and if it works out, I can continue full-time on the app instead.

Let me know if you'd like to know more information and I'll send you the slide deck and 3-min pitch video! Thanks for listening!

I own two adjacent historical mining claims (20 acres each) in Montana. Surveys estimate there are over 1.1 Million ozt of silver and 1500 ozt of gold available on the first claim, while the second is much less developed (and therefore less exploited). Over the last several years I've sunk every extra dime I've made (and nearly maxed out my credit card) into acquiring this property, and while i now have the deed, I can't yet afford the needed equipment to actually do the mining and processing. I could keep working for the next several years and eventually buy everything i need to get it rolling, but with silver on the rise, it seems like an ideal time to start making hay. so, I'm willing to sell either of the two properties for 40k, which would allow me to procure the needed equipment. I would happily allow my new neighbor to use the equipment as well, or work out a deal to work their property part of the time and my own part of the time. let me know if there is a deal to be had.

G’day guys, as the title suggests, if you’re keen to invest in a really small investment for a part profit, part charitable project please reach out to me.

The plan? Needing an investment of $3K USD to kickstart an e-commerce store which will help myself personally to quit my current job (disability care worker), and fund my ability to help reinvest in my community + charitable projects locally.

What do you get out of this?

You will be a part owner of the e-commerce store and enjoy the profit that comes from it free of responsibility. You also rest knowing that I am not just selfishly storing the money, but also reinvesting it in my local community as well as giving back to those in my life who have helped me so far.

So once again, if you’re feeling generous to invest in a part profit, part charitable project which you can journey along with me, please reach out to be part of something both financially and charitably rewarding.

(Please DM me for more details, would love to connect)

[I understand I could use a bank loan, but I would rather journey alongside someone than seeking a faceless bank loan]

So I've done hard money loans to flip single family properties in the past with having done about 12 deals since 2018. I have found a potential deal in Colorado Springs for a multi-family property. It's a deal that I've tried finding the faults in and the biggest downside is simply the amount of work it's going to take and the other downside has been getting a loan for because my credit ended up falling apart during the beginning of Covid.

In short im trying to raise $1.5m to take a property and turn it into a $3.5m property. I'm trying to use conservative numbers in case something major goes wrong. If I go with average numbers it's closer to $5.7m.

But I don't know where to turn to ask for funding for just the first $1m. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hei, any of you with some experiences in such entities? I think that the incubators can also be - more in general - consumer oriented without a specific vertical on social networking platforms. I live in Italy but i'm willing to travel in Europe for the moment

I am seeking an investor or partner for my juice bar/ wellness brand start up. I have the plan, location leased, team, and menu ready to open. This is based out of Farmington, Missouri. Let’s talk. ✨🤝

I'm about to invest in a company and I don't have the time to set up an LLC for this. I want to make sure that I won't be held personally liable and creditors can go after my assets. In what situations, if any, would this happen?

What are the upsides and downsides of investing on your own, through an LLC, or via a trust? And if a company you invest in runs into money/legal trouble down the line, can creditors come after your own stuff, which would suggest it is better to invest via an LLC or trust to safeguard your personal assets?

Noob here! Me, and a group of friends would like to start with Angel Investing.

We already found a group of startups from Europe that's interested to let us into their pre-seed / seed rounds.

Can you please share some resources on how best to save on taxes?

e.g. Should we open LLC and invest through it, or individually, or something else?

Basically, any advice or tip is highly welcome. Sorry if this was repeated question

I am building a social crowdfunding platform that connects investors and online businesses for funding and partnership opportunities through equity and debt financing. I am learning a lot from this experience and would like to get your insight on:

What pain points would investing your money in a business solve for you and how could this become a more attractive market for investors?

Why might you not want to invest in online businesses and if you were to invest what information would you need or want for decision-making?

If you’re interested in learning more or have a question, DM me!

I’m partnered with a $100M Venture Fund that is offering 0% interest business loans up to $500k and an opportunity for equity investments as an incentive to transfer their merchant processing to our new payment processor.

If you know any startups or businesses who would be interested in these opportunities I’d be happy to walk them through the process. Please send me a message. Thanks.

Hey everyone in this wonderful subreddit =)

I wanted to drop in and share a recent piece I’ve written that I think you’ll find quite compelling. It’s a deep dive into the matchmaking mechanism at the heart of our platform FundRight— the fusion of advanced data analytics and the art of connecting investors with the next big thing.

Huge Opportunity for Funding for businesses or startups:

I have been working with a new payments processor over the last couple months. This Processor has a $100M Fund that is backing its launch - incentivizing companies to switch over to their better, more modern service. They're offering a choice of:

- A 0% interest business loan (up to $500K) - A donation into a nonprofit (up to $250K) - An equity investment into a startup SAFE or Convertible Note (up to $500K)

If you know anybody that has a business that processes credit card payments - I'd be happy to connect them to the processor & fund. This could quickly (less than 30 days) get your startup investment into your SAFE or Note. Or, if you're associated with a merchant/business - your company can receive a 0% interest business loan (36mo, no fees on payments) with no restrictions on use (most companies are consolidating debt) just for switching over and getting better service anyway.

Reach out if you would like more info!

**

More details/terms:

• US-based merchants (but the startup can be anywhere)
• Business must be >1 year old
• Business must have >$15K/mo in payments processing (~$500/day - even a small cafe would hit that)
• Business much open a new Merchant account on the new processor

If those three criteria are met for the business that processes payments - reach out and I'll connect you to the processor directly.

I am thrilled to share with you an exciting opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking fintech start-up in Zimbabwe. Our company is poised to transform the financial landscape through our innovative core product which eliminates liquidity risk for credit created funds/deposits from deposit taking financial institutions. This innovation allows us to provide a host of financial services with unparalleled flexibility and lending capacity, empowering individuals and businesses to thrive.

​

Our focus is on three core product areas: Deposits and Savings Accounts (including payments), Housing Finance, and Business Finance. By leveraging our unique model, we have registered a deposit-taking Co-operative Society that enables us to accept deposits from individuals and corporations. While the Society is prohibited from lending directly to the public, it can lend to us, its shareholders. This arrangement allows us to finance our company's products through shareholder borrowing and investments in purpose-specific company bonds.

​

In essence, our products implement Prof Richard Werners findings about money and credit creation in a practical way.

​

Our Deposit Accounts and Payments platform serves as the foundation for our entire start-up product suite. As the number of accounts grows, so does the lending capacity of our platform, without increasing liquidity risk. This growth also enhances the acceptance of electronic payments through our platform, providing a seamless and convenient experience for our customers.

​

In the realm of Home Finance, we offer a unique model that combines elements of rent-to-buy and mortgage loans. Our clients are granted an option contract to purchase a house within a set period, enjoying immediate residential access. The customer's obligations would be monthly option fees (comparable to interest in mortgages), and mandatory monthly savings (comparable to principal repayments in mortgages). This innovative approach is immune to inflation and mitigates credit risk, allowing us to address the significant demand for housing finance in Zimbabwe.

​

For Business Finance and individual loans, our liquidity risk-free environment allows us to lend and create credit at a low cost. We follow conventional approaches in credit risk assessment and project appraisal, ensuring responsible lending practices while providing much-needed financial support to businesses and individuals.

​

Our traction in the market is evident. We have a vetted waiting list of clients ready to sign option contracts for Home Finance, demonstrating substantial demand. We have also established partnerships with property developers, microfinance companies for distribution and banking halls, and a fintech subsidiary of a local bank, expanding our reach and distribution channels.

​

With an estimated $60 billion economy in Zimbabwe, the potential for credit creation in the affordable housing space is enormous. Current domestic credit to Housing Finance is less than 0.5%, presenting a significant opportunity for growth as compared to the US and Europe averaging 80%. Additionally, salary-based loans for government employees offer a quick win, with projected monthly revenues exceeding $500,000 after six months with an initial USD150'000 investment. Current competing products charge an upwards of 20% for loans.

​

To accelerate our venture, we are seeking investments of $150,000 for a focused product launch that starts with deposit&payments combined with a salary based payday loan product or $3,000,000 for a comprehensive product suite of the 3 products. Investors will have the opportunity to participate in secondary raises as the company grows. Our third investment option is redeemable 5-year bonds secured by residential property, offering a competitive coupon rate and the potential for conversion to equity.

​

We are committed to compliance with all applicable laws including Zimbabwean law and exchange control regulations, ensuring a transparent and secure investment environment. Our exit options include listing on a private securities exchange, enabling liquidity for investors in the future.

​

If you are a discerning investor seeking opportunities beyond the traditional African start-up hubs, we invite you to join our journey. We are ready to share our pitch deck and whitepapers with verified persons, be they potential investors or key partners who are interested in learning more about our innovative solutions.

​

Please note that this invitation to negotiate investment opportunities is made under Zimbabwean law. We kindly request that you refrain from reposting or sharing on platforms that do not permit promotions of investments in privately held companies registered in the Republic of Zimbabwe.

​

Thank you for your time and consideration. Let's revolutionize financial services in Zimbabwe and beyond together!

We’re running an educational program on climate tech angel investing, with instructors, speakers and mentors from Lowercarbon Capital, Climate Capital, Clean Energy Ventures, Jetstream and more: https://climateangels.vc

I wanted to put it on your radar in case you heard about it already - our next cohort starts on April 18th.

I'm in an area of Florida where there are 3 vape shops available in a 30 mile radius. 2 of them are Indian ran with rude owners, one is extremely over priced.

I have successfully operated a vape shop in central Florida for 5 years for an older couple and have recently opened my own in North Florida. I've been open for 2 months now and have already seen growth.

The problem is I've run in to personal issues which have sapped funding and am worried I won't be able to keep the doors open long enough to start turning a decent profit. I won't need much and I'm willing to negotiate terms of repayment and royalties.

My starting ask would be $10k and repayment can be 10% of net profits until the 10k is repaid and 5% of net profit for the next 5 years.

Edit:

For reference, the first shop would average 8-12k in sales which would result in around 5-7k each month in profit. The new shop is in a better location with more potential customers so I expect to be making more once word of mouth spreads. ​

First time posting here and I don't see rules, but lmk if I'm violating any and I'll happily make edits.

I follow this guy on Twitter huntercdurham.

He's launching a cacao operation funding based in Puerto Rico. https://impact-industry.beehiiv.com/

I'm newly qualified as an accredited investor, and this would be my first angel investment.

I know I need to accept there's a risk of losing all money invested.

I'm asking lots of questions and feel like I'm getting reasonable answers. Any thoughts on his proposal?

Hi all. I am currently seeking angels to follow my first lead investment into an ai companion tool for streamers, gamers and online communites by way of syndicate.

UK based. SEIS/EIS. Min ticket 1K. Total syndicate ticket 250K.

I have worked with these founders for some time now as an advisor and they have impressed me massively in recent months. Last year alone I spoke with over 500 founders, these guys stood out (that should tell you everything you need to know!) The product has huge commercial potential as it develops as well as having great early traction.

Happy to provide the full investment memo for anyone serious about following on this investment.

TLDR: I would greatly appreciate help on following topics:

1. For pre-seed/angel round financing --- anything before institutional money --- is SAFE or convertible notes safer from an investor's perspective? The founder is proposing SAFE, but I am not very comfortable with the concept. 
2. What percent of equity should I aim for in this round of financing? The founder is proposing [50K] USD for somewhere between 1-2% of his company under a SAFE agreement.
3. What terms should I include when drafting the contract? For example, any particular milestones related to product/MVP development, total contract value in X months, etc. I believe I should ask for a board seat. Will a board seat at this stage be unusual (for this kind of companies)? 
4. Anything else I should be aware of? I do not feel very comfortable leaving everything to a generic contract/frame provided by Y Combinator. 

Hi all, I now have an opportunity to do an early-stage investment in a biotech startup that does business in computer-aided drug discovery ("CADD"). This is more of a software thing that gets applied in the drug-discovery/biotech world, very different from an innovative drug biotech company. 

Having talked to the founder multiple times and done extensive research on the industry and technology, I am seriously thinking about investing a good amount of money --- from my own perspective, I am aware that there are a lot of rich people on this forum --- in the nascent startup that is founded by a long-time acquaintance/friend of mine. We knew each other back in college when he was a Ph.D. and I was an undergrad. 

What I think of this industry and his startup

1. I think CADD is an irreversible trend. I believe in the thesis that "faster computers and better algorithms will accelerate XXX processes, cut expenses, and produce more and better drugs for consumers". 
2. However, I do not think CADD as an industry will be profitable in the near future, let's say the next three years. I think it will be more mature after maybe 5 years. This will be a long bet.
3. My friend is an honest, hard-working guy. I am 200% sure that he will not waste any investor capital intentionally. On the other hand, I do not have full grasp on his algorithm either. He is confident that his source code, written in Python (my experience with coding is sophomore CS major level, probably closer to a junior), will match market-leading algorithms such as Schrodinger's. He plans to charge a lower cost to enter the market. We have not officially talked about giving me access to part of or all of his source code yet, but I think that will be an essential step in my due diligence. Or is asking for source code access rather abnormal? 

4. An ex-coworker of him is now starting a competitor company and has secured $10 million in financing. Founder thinks he has meaningfully better technology, but Founder is not very well-versed in capital markets and I have a feeling that if I go above 5%, he will be very reluctant. Let's say I contribute 50K, total capital pool is now roughly 200K-250K --- my capital contribution will be somewhere between 20% and 25%. 

1. From a revenue's perspective, no signed contracts yet. There are some prospective orders in the pipeline. He has just formed a corporate entity. His code is roughly 85% complete, expecting to finish late April.
2. He would like me to be onboard as a fractional/part-time CFO and then help secure an institutional round later on. We have not talked about a precise timeline yet, but it will be in the next 6-12 months ballpark. This is not related to my prospective investment, but there will be more share awards if I successfully pull off the gig. I want to provide this part as background info, but this will NOT be related to a prospective investment.

Hi Redditors,

I've been working in the landscape of Angel Investing for a couple of years now. Working with investors (educating about and offering opportunities) as well as entrepreneurs (Guiding them to get funding-ready and prepare their investment decks).

I've helped fund around 10 businesses over the past couple of years, participated in 3 investments myself and seen over 400 propositions. Those propositions range from absolute garbage to fantastic.

I've noticed how most starting entrepreneurs have no idea about what it takes to get their company fit for funding. No idea what it means to give away equity and have an investor on board.

That's why i'm currently working on a new contentseries in which I'll try and answer most questions about getting funding ready.

Because I need all the input I can get i've also taken to r/AngelInvesting for input. For those of you trying to learn about fundraising: what questions do you have and what questions do you need answered?

I'm really looking forward to your questions

What are some essential tips and advice for investors to consider before finalizing an investment in startups, and is there any platform that provides guidance to them?

Can anyone provide details for Indian angels who are investing presently. Contact details mail or nimve will be helpful.
