Startup Funding Espresso -- Nine Types of Angel Investors
Nine Types of Angel Investors Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. There are many types of angel investors. Here are nine types commonly seen in the startup community: Networkers -- they know a great number of people and can make introductions to them. They are helpful in finding more investors as well as team members for the startup. Product-oriented -- they worked in a company managing a product line and can provide feedback on the product you are building. Finance oriented -- they have a finance background and get involved in the details of revenue recognition, forecasts, and other aspects of the accounts. Domain knowledge -- these people work in the startup\u2019s industry and provide guidance on the current trends, and can make introductions to key people.\xa0 Marketing oriented -- they have a marketing background and can provide feedback on the branding, positioning, and marketing of the startup.\xa0 Big names -- these are people who have a big name in town but don\u2019t necessarily know much about the business you may be running. They can help attract additional investors to your business. Operators -- these are people who run businesses and can advise on who to hire, how to implement projects and negotiate contracts. Challenger -- these people challenge you in board meetings and put questions to you to consider.\xa0 This can be helpful in making sure you\u2019re thinking about everything that needs to be done. The rest -- these are investors who helped fill out the round but don\u2019t have any relevant skills to bring to your startup. It\u2019s okay that they joined the team, just don\u2019t demand too much of them. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
