Summary: *Finding Angel Investors for Your Startup*
In this video, Vivino’s founder discusses effective strategies for finding angel investors for startups. With experience raising tens of millions of dollars and securing investments from notable figures, he shares valuable insights to help entrepreneurs connect with potential investors.
Key Points
Understanding Angel Investors
– Definition: Angel investors, or business angels, are individuals who invest in startups, often providing crucial early-stage funding.
– Networking: Many angel investors prefer referrals and introductions rather than cold outreach.
Strategies to Find Angel Investors
1. Utilize Online Platforms
– AngelList: Once a primary platform for startups, it now focuses more on job seekers. However, having a presence there can still attract interest.
– Investor Hunt: A database with around 40,000 investors, though it may be challenging to navigate.
– Twine’s Mega List: A comprehensive list of investors available by email registration.
2. Search for Local Angel Groups
– Most major cities have local angel investor groups. Google searches with terms like "angel investor [city name]" can yield results.
– Example: The Danish Business Angel group or Indiana University Angel Network.
3. Attend Startup Events and Meetups
– Local startup communities often host events where you can meet angel investors.
– Networking at these events can increase your chances of finding an investor.
4. Spread the Word
– Inform your network about your search for investment. Use social media and personal connections.
– Craft a compelling elevator pitch to clearly convey your startup’s vision.
5. Leverage LinkedIn
– A significant number of angel investors can be found on LinkedIn. Use the platform to identify and connect with potential investors.
– Be careful not to spam; personalized messages are essential.
Contacting Angel Investors
– Message Strategy: Keep your initial contact short, clear, and relevant.
– Avoid Long Messages: Angel investors receive numerous inquiries daily; concise communication is crucial.
– Preferred Contact Methods:- Best: Personal introductions or meeting at events.
– Acceptable: Group emails and LinkedIn messages.
– Dispreferred: Facebook messages and phone calls.
Crafting the First Message
– Focus on:- Product: Clearly state what your product is and the problem it solves.
– Team: Highlight why your team is uniquely qualified to tackle the issue at hand.
– Less critical elements include market traction, especially in early stages.
Final Tips
– Build relationships within the angel investing community to increase chances of introductions.
– Continuously network and engage with potential investors without immediately seeking funding.
Conclusion
Finding angel investors requires a mix of strategic outreach, networking, and precise communication. By employing these methods and maintaining a strong narrative about your startup, you can significantly enhance your chances of securing investment.

One lesson I’ve learned from millionaires is to always put your money to work, no matter how small. Even investing €200 per month can compound to tremendous wealth over decades. The key is to keep going!
Buying stocks might seem easy, but picking the right one without a solid plan is tough. I’ve been trying to grow my $100K portfolio, but the tricky part is not having clear plans for when to buy and sell. Any tips on this would really help.

Thank you for your videos mate.. . Crypto education is what the world needs the most right now. I don’t think that buy and hold is a valid investment strategy anymore. Not too diluted and to a degree, follows Evelyn’s trading ideas and signal tips for your portfoligrowtho and aggressiveness. She is a woman who has not only taught me what the cryptocurrency trading world looks like but a secret to uplift my finance. Buying crypto and waiting for the price to shoot up is not the best way to invest in the market but buying and trading is. Evelyn Infurna’s trade signaIs does the heavy lifting, generating competitive returns for crypto traders and investors in the form of money and peace of mind. Time in the market vs. timing the market. If you keep that mentality as an investor, you will stay calm during the storm! Within some months I was making a lot more money and have continued on that same path…
I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2025, we’ll start to see more market diversification. Considering the performance of stocks lately it is safe to say the stock market is the best smart investment out there. Hoping I’m not the only one with this thought

I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million

Hi. I’m a Kenyan citizen and I really love education. That’s why I decided to go back to high school at age 33 and did KCSE at age 35. I eagerly want to leave a legacy and for that reason, I have donated 2 acres of land to build a school for the community and future generations. Kindly, I need an investor to help me achieve this dream because I don’t have financial strength. The land is in Migori county Kenya. Thank you guys for understanding.🙏
