I am an Angel and early-stage investor. I have invested in early-stage companies in areas such as fintech, health, entertainment, PR/marketing, pure tech and a few real-world opportunities. I get approached a lot on here, so please don't pitch unless the following criteria are met or my VA will just delete it (if you just want to connect, please tell me why/where we met)Firstly, I am not interested in property investment, whether commercial, residential, courses, mentoring or lending. Also, I don't invest in any "idea" pitches. I like to see the team are able to get an MVP up and running and demonstrate market fit. Execution beats words, so I'm not interested until I can see the team are able to deliver and there is demand.I'm also not fond of "brand" businesses (ie the only real difference between your products and others is branding eg alcohol, clothing) as I feel it is a weak moat to protect a startup. If you are going to pitch this type of opportunity, please have a strong track record or something more than being "very passionate" about it.I do, however, like businesses well protected through real world advantages (eg location or legal barriers), patents and/or network effects.I also like to see a clear path to profit and/or exit, but the potential to be a unicorn if all goes well, really makes me take notice.So, pease tell me something about your biz, and I'll need more than "we will disrupt the XYZ industry" tell me briefly how. If appropriate, cover the stuff mentioned earlier and link to your deck etc. Do not just send something like "I can get you X% in Y time, interested?" The answer is no.For my part, I am actively involved with several startups. So, along with investment, I can advise on, and help structure, your online marketing and recommend specialists (and others in my network) to help get things moving.And just in case you missed it earlier, I'm still not interested in any property investment/courses/funds/mentoring...
