A lot of start-up founders that I talk with are on the hunt for funding. While it’s tempting to cast a wide net, targeting the right investors is crucial. That’s why I highly recommend leveraging the comprehensive investor database created by EU-Startups. By taking the time to review the investment theses of VCs, founders can focus their pitches on those who are genuinely aligned with their vision and industry. Yes, it’s more work upfront, but the efficiency gains and increased chances of securing funding make it worthwhile. After all, you wouldn’t want to send your MedTech pitch deck to a FMCG-focused VC! Start smart, target better, and maximize your success. You can find the database here: https://lnkd.in/dp5AKDCR

Unlock new opportunities by exploring the rewarding world of angel investing. You will gain early access to disruptive ideas and potentially earn high returns if the startups succeed.

"Angel groups have a triple bottom line which can't be matched by doing angel investing on one's own: 1) Deliver to each member a network of relationships with fellow members with deep and diverse domain and angel investing expertise 2) Active intellectual, analytic and human engagement with founders and their startups 3) Building a diverse portfolio of angel investments to allow for capturing outsized returns, potentially on a tax free basis" - Michael Costa New York Angels Members share their perspectives on the benefits of joining an angel group versus investing individually. #newyorkangels #angelinveting #angelinvestmentgroup
