"Angel groups have a triple bottom line which can't be matched by doing angel investing on one's own: 1) Deliver to each member a network of relationships with fellow members with deep and diverse domain and angel investing expertise 2) Active intellectual, analytic and human engagement with founders and their startups 3) Building a diverse portfolio of angel investments to allow for capturing outsized returns, potentially on a tax free basis" - Michael Costa New York Angels Members share their perspectives on the benefits of joining an angel group versus investing individually. #newyorkangels #angelinveting #angelinvestmentgroup

Unlock new opportunities by exploring the rewarding world of angel investing. You will gain early access to disruptive ideas and potentially earn high returns if the startups succeed. Angel investing allows you to be at the forefront of innovation, leveraging your expertise and network to shape groundbreaking concepts into reality. Beyond financial rewards, it offers a chance to contribute to entrepreneurial success, build valuable connections, and leave a lasting legacy as a catalyst for game-changing companies. An Angel Investor must be an accredited investor, become a TiE Atlanta member at any level, be ready and able to invest a minimum of $10,000 per calendar year to a company that pitches to TiE Atlanta Angels, and pay a one-time initiation fee of $500 to the TiE Atlanta Foundation. If you're passionate about innovation and support disruptive ideas, consider angel investing together with other like-minded investors. It's a unique path that combines financial potential with the opportunity to make a lasting impact.

A lot of start-up founders that I talk with are on the hunt for funding. While it’s tempting to cast a wide net, targeting the right investors is crucial. That’s why I highly recommend leveraging the comprehensive investor database created by EU-Startups. By taking the time to review the investment theses of VCs, founders can focus their pitches on those who are genuinely aligned with their vision and industry. Yes, it’s more work upfront, but the efficiency gains and increased chances of securing funding make it worthwhile. After all, you wouldn’t want to send your MedTech pitch deck to a FMCG-focused VC! Start smart, target better, and maximize your success. You can find the database here: https://lnkd.in/dp5AKDCR

So, just came across this on Sifted: Apparently, August was the worst month for European startup funding since April 2017, according to deals tracked by Sifted. Sifted data showing European startup funding hitting a 6-year low in August (€1.8bn across 247 deals) has got me wondering: Is this something more than just the cyclical dip we see in August? [1] US funding, while slowing, is still multiples higher (at least based on Pitchbook info). Is there a uniquely European anxiety at play here, beyond macro headwinds? [2] Seed-stage investments are something that I consider a traditional European VC strength (due to volume + quantum). It's NOT just megarounds drying up. Both deal count and funding are down significantly since May across ALL stages. [3] Is the fear of a frozen IPO market driving deeper anxieties about future exits for European VCs? Yes, August is always quiet. But this year feels different. #europeanstartups #venturecapital #funding #innovation #economicdownturn #opportunity #resilience #adaptation #opendialogue These are just a few observations - what are YOU seeing in the market that confirms or contradicts this?
