9 steps to finding angel investors for your business
Angel investors are wealthy, experienced businesspeople who invest their time and money in your high-growth business in exchange for equity.
“There are anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 angel investors in Canada,” says Yuri Navarro, former Executive Director of the National Angel Capital Organization (NACO). “Beside the visible community, there are many who invest, but who don’t advertise it.”
Angels are often the first ones to invest in early-stage businesses and that carries a lot of weight in the eyes of future investors.
“It’s a vote of confidence that can help attract venture capital funding,” says Dominique Bélanger, Managing Partner, Co-Investments at BDC Capital.
Navarro and Bélanger offered tips to keep in mind to increase your chances of finding angel investors and persuading them to fund your company.
