Looking for around $50-$60k angel investor to have a look around our site and let us know if they know of anyone who might be interested in coming in.

The piece looks like a horror piece but we've put the genre on its head, it's really about going towards and into the Light than away from it. It's been designed to be an original concept piece hence nobody on the business will touch it (no industry-produced comps -- on purpose, 'cause epic film originals is what we do).

Testing

I'm looking to raise $50k to launch an MVNO(Mobile Virtual Network Operator) like MetroPCS, Boost mobile, Mint mobile etc...

I'm working with ispwn.com/ who's a wholesaler and tech partner. I'm investing my own $50k to build my wireless service and grow. With ISPWN, I can sell cellular plans with unlimited talk, text, and data and earn up to $20/line.

I know some of you might think that I'm day dreaming and this venture will never scale, I won't get into too much details about my "go-to-market" strategy, but I have a solid plan in place that'll allow me to scale quickly and possibly exit with a fat payout.

There's a federal government program that provides free or low cost internet and phone service called "Lifeline". There are over 50 million+ people in the US who receive some type of government assistance in the US. My goal is to reach at least 0.5% of these people.

I have a business account with Samsung, and I get volume pricing with up to $200 savings on smartphones.

My main source of income is phone plans (which is almost guaranteed because the government will be paying the bill for the customers). And Smartphones/accessories.

The operation won't cost too much because everything is automated. Clients can switch, activate their or troubleshoot their phones for technical related issues simply by reading our manual or FAQs.

Most of the money will be invested in marketing and customer support.

My goal is to reach at least 10k customer by December 31st. I'd like to mention that SNAP benefits recipients are not my only target customers, we can serve everyone.

I'm looking to close this round as soon as possible so we can focus on launching and growing the business to meet our milestone.

I'm taking investment from $2.5k and up. Once we launch, and if all goes as planned we will end the year with a positive revenue. As I mentioned above, my long term goal is to reach at least a million customers and get acquired by a big network just Mint mobile.

If you have questions that I didn't cover, feel free to ask in the comment section or DM. Thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing your feedback.

Problem Statement

In countries like India, affordable laundry and ironing services are accessible due to lower labor costs. In the U.S., however, these services are often prohibitively expensive, especially in urban areas where personal laundry equipment and ironing space are limited. This cost disparity creates a significant gap in accessible laundry solutions for U.S. residents, leading to high expenses for many households.

Key Pain Points:

• High Laundry & Ironing Service Costs: Many individuals and families in the U.S. find both laundry and ironing services unaffordable.
• Space Constraints in Urban Areas: Limited space for personal laundry and ironing setups makes residents increasingly dependent on costly laundromats or ironing services.
• Limited Flexibility and Accessibility: Few services offer customizable, affordable options for both laundry and ironing, leaving consumers without convenient solutions.

2. Solution Overview: LaundryBuddy

LaundryBuddy is a peer-to-peer (P2P) platform that connects people who need laundry and ironing services with community members willing to offer these services at more affordable rates.

Key Features:

• Open Provider System: Any user can sign up as a "Provider" to offer laundry and ironing services, promoting a community-driven ecosystem.
• Flexible Roles: Users can switch between being "Customers" and "Providers" as needed, ensuring adaptability.
• Geolocation Matching: Users are matched based on location, connecting Customers with nearby Providers for both laundry and ironing services.
• Secure Transactions: Integrated payment processing with secure in-app messaging and basic insurance coverage for lost or damaged items.
• Community Ratings: A mutual rating system fosters trust and quality control within the community.
• Optional Delivery: Providers can offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee.

3. Target Market

LaundryBuddy serves urban U.S. residents, particularly those living in apartments, dormitories, or small spaces without laundry or ironing setups. The app also targets:

• Budget-Conscious Individuals/Families: People seeking affordable alternatives to traditional laundry and ironing services.
• Gig Economy Enthusiasts: Individuals looking to earn extra income by providing laundry and ironing services.
• Eco-Conscious Consumers: Users who value sustainable and locally sourced solutions over commercial services.

Market Size: The U.S. laundry and ironing services market is valued at over $10 billion and is projected to grow with the gig economy expansion, especially in urban areas with high rent and limited amenities.

Hi everyone, my team is about to go market with a first-of-its-kind wearable camera, Ucam, that enables athletes to capture and livestream their first-person POV during games completely accessory-free, opening up a world of possibilities for training, analysis, and fan engagement, as well as being easily monetizable and translatable into other verticals.

A couple of the things that make our startup stand out:

• Every action camera in the market requires some type of accessory to be used (chest strap, magnetic necklace), making it impossible to be used in contact sports. Our patented design allows for the camera to be applied directly onto any type of fabric completely accessory-free.
• On the software side, the top action cameras in the market allow you to only stream footage from the device to your app - our app allows to stream the footage from Ucam globally.
• We already have a stellar lineup of investors and advisors, including a former NBA Champion & DPOY, WNBA All-Stars, the CDO of 3Step Sports, one of the Atlanta Dream team owners, and the Executive VP of HoopGroup, to name a few.

Why Invest in Ucam:

• Growing Market Demand: The global action camera market was valued at approximately $3.2B in 2022 and is expected to reach $6.1B by 2030. This growth is driven by the increasing popularity of live streaming and first-person POV content in sports, positioning Ucam to capture a significant market share.
• Early Demand: We have gathered a good amount of early pre-orders.
• Strong Advisory Board: Our team of investors and advisors brings a wealth of experience and industry connections.
• Versatility: While initially targeting the sports industry, Ucam’s technology has potential applications in various other fields, where we have already seen early convictions.
• Monetization Potential: Ucam opens new revenue streams for athletes and content creators through sponsorships, ads, and direct fan engagement.

If you're interested in having a conversation, please let me know. Thanks!

Context: I used to run a marketing agency specifically for fast growing startups. I sold the business a year ago.

Love the space and thinking of getting into business brokering in the coming years (a few licenses and experience later).

I have met angels that can't find start-ups and amazing start-ups that can't find investors (although the great ones often do eventually).

I understand the start-up world and know what to look for in a top 0.1% candidate.

Would someone introducing you to a high potential start-up and assisting with the investment process (as a broker does) be useful for you? Do you already use a service like this?

Why or why not?

I thought I'd share my limited angel experience, specifically through AngelList. I know when I was getting into it, I wanted to read more anecdotes.

Background

I'm a semi-successful tech worker in the Valley. Back in the 2020/2021 time period as the stock market went to its highs, my portfolio was at all all time high due to the massive run up in the market. I looked into other investments. I've always wanted to get into angel investing but I don't have any special connections. I sold a small % of my net worth to set aside to try some higher risk investing. The total amount seems like a lot to most people but since it was a single-digit percent of my net worth at the time, I justified the risk.

My goal at the time was to make enough investments to distribute risk and also use it as an opportunity to learn. I knew a challenge would be that the iterative cycle to learn would be long and so I still have mixed feelings whether it's an effective way for me to grow money vs other ways I've been successful (public market stocks).

What happened

I made about 25-30 investments in the 2021-2022 time period. During this time, there were a ton of deals out there as everyone was swimming with money and everyone got into investing, particularly angel investing. I invested in deals from pre-seed to series-D following something of a normal distribution (in number of deals and dollars invested) -- so the bulk of them are seed to series B investments.

In the subsequent period, the bottom fell out of tech investing whether it was in the public markets or private. Valuations took a crazy drive. Personally, I had kind of written off all my investments in my head but of course it doesn't cost anything to bag hold and wait. I paused on making investments even though I still had some money left to put to work because I wanted to see the fall out. Plus, with AI booming, I've wanted to shift my investments to startups in that area.

Current Status

I'm about 2.5-4 years out of those investments. I don't get regular investor updates except for a few companies. So I've tried to look for other signals for them -- seeing if there's been any recent news, any recent product launches, activity on LinkedIn, employees on LinkedIn, and so on.

• ~20% show no signs of life at this moment. I assume these companies are either in zombie mode or have disappeared.

• ~10% are "still alive." They're not dead but no clear positive signals.

• ~40% have what I consider to be "positive signs." Either they've explicitly sent investor updates, there have been recent product updates, there's been recent news about their business, they've raised money recently.

• ~10% have "highly positive signs." That is, something explicitly and tangible like they raised another round at a much higher valuation.

• The rest have reached absolute outcomes. I'll list them below.

Outcomes (from worst to best):

• 3 were near or total losses. One of them just shut down, and the other 2 were acquired for nothing or peanuts.

• 1 company was acquired by one of the biggest SAAS companies out there but it was an acquihire. The return was ~25%.

• 1 company was raising another round (Series A) and the investors decided to cash in for a 5x return to a Series A investor.

While it's exciting to see a 500% return for a single investment, I'm still net negative. Not all investments are of equal amount, but I do have a standard amount I've settled on and in total I'd need roughly a 25-30x total returns to break even.

Over half of the companies are still alive and at various stages. The younger ones (seed, series a) are still in product development and making their initial forays into the market. The more mature ones (series a, b) have traction, are iterating on their product and having various success in growing revenue. The ones that were big-ish at the time (series b+) were likely highly valued at the time and took a big hit in having their valuation corrected. But most of them had solid business models, weathered the storm, and continue to operate their businesses.

Looking at them, I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up making my money back in say another 5 years. I don't think any of them will have crazy, outsized return (say 100x+). If that turns out to be the case, the total return on the portfolio will likely be not as good as if I picked a good tech stock in the public market or maybe even just put it in a s&p500 index.

Since then, I've still been getting deals but it is far fewer than before. Clearly, many people have exited the game. I haven't scrutinized deals as closely because of time constraints but every now and then I'll peruse them -- I don't see things that are particularly exciting. It might be the case that I have to go back and look for better sources.

Hello everyone,

I'm a game developer with almost half a decade of professional experience, primarily focused on solo and indie game development and contract work for a few big studios.

I have worked on various projects and released my own on Steam and other platforms, making a good living from them. I rarely do any marketing for my own projects due to budget constraints and limited time to focus on anything other than game development. 

I'm looking to partner with someone who can help me realize the full potential of a game I’ve been working on for nearly two years. It’s in a state close to early access, is playable, and optimized. It's a city builder/real-time strategy game set into the medieval period that I’ve invested significant time and effort into, and I would love to see it reach its full heights.

I seek a partner interested in generating passive income from this project or investing fully, ideally someone who can provide upfront capital to improve its marketing, artwork, and other areas I haven’t been able to focus on as much.

The game features multiplayer capabilities, resource gathering, and gameplay with both human players and AI. I am finishing up a campaign mode that draws inspiration from games like "Stronghold Crusaders," where players complete increasingly challenging missions, fighting AI or cooperating with another player. 

Players must manage citizens' well-being, ensuring they are fed, breeding animals, farming, collecting taxes, and building their economy. I have sunk a lot of time into this and I don’t believe much is lacking from a gameplay perspective other than bug fixes and graphical tidying up, but I’m open to suggestions.

Again, I'm looking for a partner to help fund it in the short term while working towards its long-term goals, leveraging my experience in the gaming industry and some capital to help it grow. If anyone is interested, please DM me here. I would love to discuss this further, share more details, and showcase a demo of what I have.

Hey Reddit,

I’m developing a new AI-based solution aimed at optimizing energy use in commercial buildings. The idea is to make energy systems like HVAC and lighting smarter, more efficient, and environmentally friendly by reducing waste and cutting costs. It’s a complex space with a lot of room for innovation, and while there are challenges, that’s what makes it such an exciting opportunity.

I’m currently in the early stages, working on a proof of concept and having conversations with potential partners and investors. I’m looking for investors who see the potential and are willing to support the project as we move forward.

If you’re interested in learning more about what we’re building, I’d love to connect and share more details.

Thanks!

Angel Investing: Indie Developer

Hi everyone, do people angel invest into indie developers? I ask this question because I do not know if there is a community interest into something like this. Currently I have a team working on developing a WW2 Real Time Strategy game that focuses on deception to win the game as well as a multi layered approach to game play in order to avoid linear game play.

If anyone is interested I’d be happy to further discuss. If anyone also has comments/thoughts I’d love to hear it all! :D

The article discusses how Qodo (formerly CodiumAI) has raised $40 million in a Series A funding round: Qodo raises $40M Series A to bring quality-first code generation and testing to the enterprise

Qodo offers various tools, including extensions for popular IDEs like Visual Studio Code and JetBrains, a git agent compatible with major platforms (GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket), a Chrome extension, and a CLI tool.

I know the head of this small fund. This is their 2nd fund and they have a small friends and family pool where they allow smaller checks.

I am willing to lose this money (as all risky investments) but what is a check size that you'd recommend? This is my first time so I was thinking of something between 1-5k USD?

Hello Reddit community, I’m exploring all available options for connecting with potential investors for my startup.

Are there any specific intermediaries—whether individuals or startups—that you’ve found effective in helping entrepreneurs connect with investors? What services do they offer, and what has your experience been like?

I appreciate any insights or suggestions you can share.

Thank you!c

Hi Guys,

I have an app where people can learn any language by chatting with their friends on WhatsApp, regardless of the language their friends speak.

I am in the Bay Area to meet investors. As you know finding investors is a numbers game, I have found good leads by looking at people who funded/found similar companies, and people that say they invest in consumer/EdTech/Language learning, or are on lists I found online.

What other strategy am I missing, I am not from America so I might miss something

Thnx

im in the DMV area but having a hard time finding investors groups in the area, especially hospitality/b2c
