How to pitch to Angels

Angels are real people, they want to understand the businesses they invest in:

•  Solve a real issue and explain how you solve it and why customers will buy it

•  Don’t give cold facts and numbers, tell a story

•  Focus on benefits your business offers to customers instead of sales forecasts not supported by actual sales history

•  Have a clear plan but embrace new revenue opportuni@es and be flexible to change your business plan

•  Discuss ownership stakes on follow up meeDngs and be open to their proposals, if they bring you more than just money

•  Your deck should an@cipate/answer any quesDons an investor will ask



How to connect with them

How to connect with Angels and who are they

•  Understand your investors: target those who invest in your area, and stage

•  Meet early stage, ask for advise, not financing

•  Get introduced: Go to conferences and events (demo days)

•  Meet with angel groups and networks


Typical angel profile

•  Open accredited investors, i.e. an annual income +£100k / net assets +£250k

•  Typically invest between £5k and £150k in a single venture

•  Love to co-‐invest with big names, be it VCs or recognised private investors
