Angels help fill the ‘Equity Gap’
Early stage and seed
venture funds

Why are VC’s moving to lager stages?
• Equal time of due diligence for smaller investments but
lower potential of fast returns
• Financial return is the main motivation
• Companies in seed phase need as much mentoring as cash
• Historically low track record in returns on investment in seed
• Bubble and current crisis will increase this trend
6
About Business Angels
• Investment 25 000 - 250 000 euro
• Willing to share their managerial skills, specialist
knowledge and networks
• No sector preference
• Often prefer to invest in their region of residence
• Seeking profit, but also fun
• Usually total investments below 15% of wealth
• Can become involved in the business (“active Angel”)
or not (“passive Angel”).
7
THE CONTRIBUTION OF BUSINESS ANGELS
• 2 wings: capital + mentoring/coaching
• Invest early – take a higher risk and in different sectors
• More flexible and reactive than other investors
• BA give access to networks and new potential customers
and act as ambassador for the business
• Easier to raise follow-on funding
8
What business angels look for
• Current & comprehensive Business Plan
• Strong & committed Management Team
• Environment and market
• High growth / scalable / strong business forecast
(5m€/3yrs)
• Intellectual property protection
• Realistic pre-money valuation
• Exit strategy
• BUT Entrepreneur‟s qualities are most important
