The early-stage investment landscape is changing dramatically, especially with SEIS tax allowance increases, but there are THREE major challenges to be addressed and overcome if this burgeoning space is ever to truly flourish.1) Founders and Investors don’t communicate enoughAngel investors often provide the platform for early-stage funding, and if communicated with regularly and kept appraised, can be a much bigger asset to the company, helping with introductions, opening doors to potential clients and partners… not to mention contributing to future investment.2) Disorganised Portfolio ManagementA common theme with all angel investors, is once you’ve got a few companies in your portfolio, it’s hard to track and manage those investments – ensuring you’ve got all the right documents and keeping them in one place is challenging enough, never mind tracking their performance and what your portfolio might be worth!3) Angels are disconnected from the wider Angel communityAngels tend to co-invest with other angels they may know in local groups and syndicates, but rarely stray outside of those inner circles to share deals and collaborate with the thousands of other UK Angels that are doing the same thing up and down the country. This only serves to make the early-stage investment more difficult to navigate for founders and investors alike.So what’s the solution?AngelTrack has been built for UK Angels by a team of UK Angels. Born out of frustration with the challenges above, AngelTrack is the all-in-one solution which serves to keep your portfolio organised and compliant, whilst simultaneously keeping you connected to your invested Founders and other Angel Investor comrades.
