Recommendation

“Entrepreneur” is one of the most overused and misunderstood words in modern business. When entrepreneurs team with angel investors, even more confusion results. Brian S. Cohen and John Kador clarify the positions of both business owners and angel investors, so entrepreneurs know what to expect – and how they can raise money and leverage relationships with their investors to remain in control of their companies as they build successful long-term operations. This conversational book – which solidly handles an esoteric topic – offers aspiring business owners all they need to bridge the gap with potential investors. getAbstract recommends this manual to angels and owners for its upbeat, realistic guidelines for managing start-up entrepreneur-investor relationships.

Take-Aways

  • Early-stage risk takers – “angel investors” – bring many firms into the marketplace.
  • In return for their investment, angel investors take a percentage of owner equity, which owners can offset when they sell the firm or develop another exit strategy.
  • The US has 250,000 active angel investors who invest $20 billion in 50,000 start-ups every year.
