Welcome to INDIAN ANGEL NETWORK

Home > Angel Funding - More than Financial Investment

The Network Members have numerous investment avenues and entrepreneurial investment propositions are only one of them. Therefore the value proposition of the venture and the investment opportunity need to be compelling. Please do look at the suggested funding application as it gives the minimum details for a business plan to be considered.
	Some of the key USPs that The Network is looking to deliver :
Investors with strong entrepreneurial and operational backgrounds who are willing to invest not just money but also time and adding value to the investee companies as also providing them access to their vast networks. A simple term sheet. A quick reversal on the investment decision. Even if the Network decides not to invest the company will derive value by interacting with the Network members and getting their advise and inputs.
	Apart from the business plan, the Network looks at some key parameters :
The Network looks for businesses that have high barriers to entry and can grow to be large. The quality of the management team is important. A complementary management team that comprises multiple skills such as technology, sales, finance, HR etc. is considered a major asset. The Network seeks to add value by providing advice/mentoring an access to its network in addition to money so its members are likely to invest in businesses where they have the ability to add such value. Entrepreneurs who can provide evidence of the validation of their concept and particularly those who have begun to engage with the market have a stronger proposition. All are welcome – first time entrepreneurs, second time entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs who may have failed in their earlier attempt.
