We had personally invested $70,000 of our own money at this point, and we were hoping to raise at least another $250,000 to help us hire a team, launch our company, and begin to build our product. We even won $65,000 from an angel investor pitch competition in the form of a convertible note. We were on a roll.

I recently wrote a post on angel financing covering the topic of convertible notes but I realized I was thinking about the issue more from investor perspective and a very narrow topic of how to price the round. This post is for those who want to raise angel money. I’ll make my next posting shorter.

Still, I was quite concerned the other day to read the fox-in-henhouse problem posted in a very well-written and thoughtful post called 11 Lessons I Learned Raising Venture Capital : “Be wary of angel networks.

There was a lot of consumer internet activity again…resurgence of things, but it was still mysterious, venture capital was still kind of closed, 1st time entrepreneurs had a lot of questions that were unanswered, and there was still some sort of hand waiving around all the financing stuff and so we took it on….”. Some Angel groups endorse it.

The state of small business financing is a bit uncertain these days in terms of both supply and demand. To get the full picture, we need to frame this discussion by understanding how unimportant securing new financing is to small businesses in the current economic conditions. Hire a loan hunter. Look for local lenders.

Everyone wanted to work in finance. The video game and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality industry actively hire for people with design, screenwriting, and other visual arts skills. Some AI companies hire people with comedy-writing and script writing experience. “CEO is the new Analyst.”. Everyone wants to work in tech startups.
This is going to be BIG.

Another case in point, Spark Capital just hired Kate Bolin --someone that had been interviewed at a portfolio company of theirs that had made a good enough impression that they labeled her as someone to stay in touch with. Christina Bechhold didn''t forget that--and so she co-founded her own angel group.
