The 6 Steps to
Raising Angel Funding
Now, because the vast majority of you should be seeking angel investors, the remainder of this page focuses on raising angel funding…
So what is my proven formula for raising money from angel investors?
My proven formula for raising angel funding is a 6-step process:
Step #1. Know What Angels Want
Step #2. Protect Yourself
Step #3. Find Investors
Step #4. Contact Investors
Step #5: Make Your Pitch
Step #6: Close The Deal
Let’s go through these steps one at a time…
STEP #1
Step #1. Know What Angels Want
The first step in raising angel funding is to understand precisely what angel investors are looking for…
I mean, if you don’t know their hot buttons and what makes them tick, you can’t possibly get angel investors excited to write you a check…
That’s why you need to start by understand the exact triggers and motivations that get angel investors to react…
STEP #2
Step #2. Protect Yourself
The next step in raising angel funding is understanding the legal issues you must adhere to…
You see, in the United States, when you raise funding from angel investors, you are selling securities…
And the sale of securities is governed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)…
And, if you don’t follow the proper procedures, you can:
1. Fail to raise the money you need

2. Get sued by investors
3. Go to jail
So you need to make sure you follow the appropriate legal procedures to prevent such negative outcomes…
STEP #3
Step #3. Find Investors
The third step in raising angel funding is to find angel investors…
This is my favorite step, because:
1. It is the most important
2. Most entrepreneurs get it wrong
The fact is that angel investors are all around us…
For example, remember when I mentioned earlier that the Center for Venture Research found that 57,225 companies received angel funding last year…
Well the Center for Venture Research found that 259,480 individual angel investors provided this funding…
And those 259,480 individual angels are just a tiny fraction of the total number of investors that can provide funding to you…
You see, according to The Spectrem Group, there are:
A. 980,000 US households with net worth > $5 million
B. 7.8 million US households with net worth > $1 million
That’s millions of potential angel investors for your business…
And the best part is that these are mostly “latent” angel investors. That means they don’t look at themselves or call themselves angel investors. And they don’t get bombarded with companies to fund…
But, they have the means, ability and interest in investing in companies like yours…
And why wouldn’t they…Virtually all of these investors have money in the public stock markets, which have provided negative returns over the past 10 years…
While angel investing, according to the Center for Venture Research, has resulted in 27% annual returns…
So you are actually doing these investors a favor by having them invest in your business…
And finding these investors is easy when you know how to do it!
STEP #4
Step #4. Contact Investors
The fourth step in raising angel funding is to contact angel investors…
You see, once you’ve identified and created your list of angel investors, you need to reach out to them to start the conversation…
This seems fairly straightforward, but most entrepreneurs get this wrong…
In fact, contacting an angel by immediately asking for their money is sort of like asking someone to marry you rather than simply asking them out on a date…
STEP #5
Step #5: Make Your Pitch
The fifth step in raising angel funding is presenting your deal to the angel investors…
A lot of entrepreneurs screw up here because they don’t include the right information in their presentations…
Rather, they talk too much about their products & services, and not enough about the key issues that the angel investors care about most…
STEP #6
Step #6: Close The Deal
The sixth and final step in raising angel funding is closing the deal…
You see, it’s pretty easy to get an angel investor to say they’re interested in your company…
But getting them interested is not enough…you have to move them from interested to physically writing you a check or wiring money into your bank account…
So there you have it…If you follow these six steps, you can raise all the money you need for your business from individual or angel investors…
Now because raising money is so critical to your success, and to make sure you raise all the money you need, I put together a simple, easy to follow program for you…
