Angel Startups: The Key to Business Success
Introduction
This is the story of my friend Sarah, who was on the brink of becoming a self-made millionaire but ended up declaring bankruptcy. I've changed her name and omitted details about her invention to protect her privacy.
Meeting Sarah
I met Sarah in an access course. She was nice, though a bit bossy and competitive. We discussed university plans, and she asked for advice on lucrative fields of study. While I planned to study computer science, her interest was piqued by CAD (Computer Aided Design), which I believed offered great financial potential. Later, I started a small business from home with a loan from the Princes Trust, while Sarah continued her education. We lost touch until I saw her on the news three years later.
Sarah's Rise to Fame
Sarah was making headlines with her university project, which was predicted to make her a millionaire. Her invention was generating significant buzz, earning her numerous awards and appearances on TV shows like "This Morning" and "Living Genius." The university supported her success, and investors were eager to fund her venture.
At the same time, my personal life was unraveling; my partner left me and our business, leaving me a single parent. At the job center, I discovered working would worsen my financial situation, so I decided to pursue a university degree.
Reconnecting with Sarah
After my first year at university, I saw Sarah on a program and decided to reconnect through a mutual friend. Visiting her business premises, I found her surrounded by awards and thriving in her element. However, I noticed her workspace was excessively large for a startup, leading her to rent out some space due to high costs.
Sarah was in talks with a global company interested in buying her product, but they wanted to change its material and packaging. She insisted on retaining her brand and distributing to small outlets, a decision I felt was misguided. Had I been her advisor, I would have encouraged her to accept the offer, as I believed the product needed material changes to truly succeed.
The Downfall
Sarah persisted for another 18 months without seeing substantial progress. Running at a loss and with no sign of the wealth she envisioned, she eventually abandoned her venture. The excitement around her and her invention faded, leaving her feeling stressed and defeated.
Conclusion
The moral of this story is that success requires more than a great invention and hard work. If Sarah had received firm, professional advice and not been swayed by the hype, she might have achieved her millionaire status. Her invention needed adjustments to reach global success. By turning down a major contract with a global company, she missed a significant opportunity. I believe with the right support, Sarah could have transformed her potential into a reality.
