Angel Investors: Turning Big Ideas into Reality
Introduction
For emerging companies with groundbreaking products, sometimes an angel is exactly what you need to soar.
The Power of Angel Investors
A study by the University of New Hampshire's Center for Venture Research revealed that "angel investors"?"wealthy individuals eager to fund early-stage businesses?"invested over $18 billion in startups last year. In contrast, venture capitalists contributed just $304 million.
The Search for the Right Angel
Finding the right angel investor isn't easy. Safer Smokes Inc. understands this challenge well. The company is making waves in the smoking cessation market with its innovative, tobacco-free, and nicotine-free product called Bravo. This product looks and burns like a traditional cigarette but is made from lettuce fibers.
"Bravo lets you gradually break away from tobacco," says Puzant C. Torigian, CEO of Safer Smokes.
At this stage, companies like Safer Smokes may not be ready for large venture capital firms, yet they need to expand beyond initial support from family and friends. Here’s where angel investors come into play.
"The key challenge in today’s market is encouraging angels to recognize genuine investment opportunities," notes Torigian.
How to Attract Angel Investors
- Identify a Clear Target Market: Safer Smokes is focusing on the booming smoking cessation market, which is now approaching $10 billion in annual sales, up from $6 billion just three years ago. Angel investors are often drawn to companies that can demonstrate the potential for positive cash flow within the first 18 months.
- Align Business Goals with Investor Expectations: Investors need assurance that the product is both unique and promising. Safer Smokes boasts a patented solution that they believe will transform the healthcare industry.
By clearly articulating these points, emerging companies can position themselves to attract the angels they need to turn big ideas into reality.
