How Angel Investors Engage Impact Investing Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Angel investors fill the gap between family-and-friends funding and institutional funding. They engage with impact startups in several ways: They fund startups with early-stage capital to launch the business.\xa0 They provide mentorship to the startup founders to help the company. Some angels work as advisors providing services such as accounting or financial work. Some angels form groups to invest in impact startups. Each group focuses on an impact sector or geographic area. Some groups provide funding through individual investments while others form funds. Angel groups help share the deal flow and the due diligence. Before investing, an angel investor will look at the team to check their experience. They will perform diligence on the company for the business model, the competition, sales and marketing, and intellectual property. Finally, they will look at the impact the startup makes.\xa0 It\u2019s important to measure the impact your startup will have as investors will decide to invest based on it.\xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let\u2019s go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: \xa0 Check out our other podcasts here: \xa0 For Investors check out: \xa0 For Startups check out: \xa0 For eGuides check out: \xa0 For upcoming Events, check out \xa0\xa0 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group\xa0\xa0\xa0 Please , share, and leave a review.
