Altgate: Angel Investor Best Practices on 2008-08-06
-
I came across this 200-page document today which is a very detailed manual of best practices complete with a glossary written by and for angel investors. It's not only great reading for those who are new to angel investing, but it's must read for any entrepreneur looking to raise angel money. Why? Well it's always helpful to put yourself in other's shoes to see what they're trying to achieve and when it comes to angels, there's no better way to get into their shoes than to read this.

Ten things to think about before pursuing funding for your startup » Silicon Florist on 2008-08-05
-
- Have you really solved a problem? Just because you see a problem doesn’t mean you’re the person to solve the problem. It’s far easier to criticize existing solutions than it is to invent your own solution. And even if you do invent a solution to that problem, there’s no guarantee that that’s a business.
- Are you mentally prepared? Pursuing VC funding isn’t about self esteem. It’s about business. If you want someone to review what you’re doing and give you positive feedback, Silicon Florist may be a better candidate than a VC. A VC isn’t here to build you up or inflate your ego. A VC is here to figure out how you’re going to make money so that the investment firm can make money.
- Are you ready for the oversight? Angels invest their own money. VCs invest other people’s money. As such, they’re going to have different types of involvement. And different kinds of goals. What kind of involvement and what kind of goals? Read on, gentle reader. Read on.

Reasonable pre-money valuations for startups : Texas Startup Blog on 2008-08-05
-
My advice: I suggested that if an investor asked them about valuation that they simply suggest that ‘valuation isn’t as important to them as finding the right partner.’ Then turn the question around, ‘based on your experience, what would you think was a fair valuation range?’ After meeting with several investors I suspect you will have a very good idea what the ‘market’ will bear for a deal like yours.
