Ten Tips to Appeal to Angel Investors You should understand that private equity is a class of investment, and that most early stage entrepreneurs are better suited for investment from private investors ("angels"), than from professional venture capital partnerships. You should create a business plan that emphasizes your sustainable competitive advantage. You should accept the fact that having "a good idea" is often not enough to raise capital from private investors, and you should do your homework to provide "proof of concept" for your venture. You should understand that raising capital requires an expenditure of capital. You should identify and contact angels who are suitable for you. You should recognize that industry experience is valuable and important to angel investors. You should recognize that raising capital takes time. You should recognize that angels are "value-added investors." You should never stop looking for additional angel investors until all checks from interested parties have cleared the bank. You should invest your own money in your venture.
