From the rear cover
They deliver more capital to entrepreneurs than any other source. And they often receive an incredible return on their investments. They're angel investors, some of the most important--and least understood--players in business today. The United States has close to three million angels, whose investments in startups exceed $60 billion per year. Some of our most successful companies were funded by angels--companies like Ford, AOL, and Amazon.com. But until now, little has been written about these angels, due in part to their preference for anonymity. Angel Investors provides an inside look at who these angels are and how they operate. It also shows would-be angels and entrepreneurs how best to find each other.
From the jacket flap
For the entrepreneur, angel investment is one of the best ways to secure the funding needed to transform a great idea into a competitive venture. For the investor, angel investing holds the promise of enormous financial returns. In fact, many successful companies were funded by angels-companies like Cisco, AOL, and Amazon.com. Some of our top business leaders have cashed out to become angels--leaders like Apple's John Sculley, Netscape's Jim Barksdale, and Microsoft's Paul Allen. Indeed, understanding angel investing is crucial for every entrepreneur and investor in today's marketplace. Angel Investing offers the first authoritative look at this emerging form of financing, complete with stories of the investors and companies that have led the way. It is also the only comprehensive guide for the entrepreneur seeking capital and the private investor looking for a better return on investments of $100,000 or more.Written by two veteran investors, Angel Investing is based on years of research, hands-on experience, and in-depth interviews with business angels, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs. It gives readers an unprecedented overview of how business angels compare with their better-known counterparts, venture capitalists, covering everything from investment motivations to exit strategies. It provides the resources entrepreneurs need to secure angel investment for their growing companies. And it shows would-be angels how to buy into small firms with strong growth potential.Entrepreneurs will learn what angel investors look for in a startup, how to pitch their company successfully, and how to tap the billions of dollars that business angels invest in entrepreneurial firms each year. Would-be angels will learn how to connect with startups, what criteria to look for before committing their capital, and how to make their first investment in an entrepreneurial firm. The book includes a resource section that features the first-ever listing of over seventy services.
