Be sure to read: Top Ten Tips For Angel Financing Today
In 2002, angel investors invested $15 billion in 20,000 ventures nationwide. This was a 50% drop from the year 2000 tech bubble. More than half of this money goes to technology companies, where the
ROI can be very high. Typically investors seek a 40% return (IRR) per year to make up for the high failure rate of well over 50%. This means they need to get about 10X their money back in 4-5
years. If your venture can not grow to about $50MM in that time then venture capitalists are not likely to invest and creative deals with angels are a better route.
