I have a biz idea. Where do I get venture capital or an "angel" to finance it?


Please, don't tell me to go to a bank, or a friend or a family member. What I need is an actual investor that likes the idea and wants to get it off the ground.

You may want to go and pitch your ideas where investors gather. Here are some places where angel investors come and those looking for funding can come and pitch their business plans. Be sure to have a strong business plan and describe what makes your business idea stand apart:

Angel Capital Association http://www.angelcapitalassociation.org
Angel's Forum http://www.angelsforum.com
Band of Angels http://www.bandangels.com
Common Angels http://www.commonangels.com
Keiretsu Forum http://www.k4forum.com
Launchpad Venture Group http://www.launchpadventuregroup.com
New World Angels http://www.newworldangels.com
New York Angels http://www.newyorkangels.com
Prairie Angels http://www.prairieangels.org (charges $125 to submit idea)
Robin Hood Ventures http://www.robinhoodventures.com (charges $250)

if you are a home owner, i can proboly get you the $$$$$ that you need to start your business up or @least get the ball rolling

if this applies to you please feel free to shoot me an
email jennifer.caluori@aegismtg.com

The best route is to locate and research what Angel or VC funds are in your area. Further you need to determine what area your company falls under. You need the VC as much as they need you. So find a group that has resources and experience within your field. This is a mutually beneficial relationship. So during the pitch process you should not be the only side of the table selling themselves. Most VC firms are specialized, there are very few firms that are generalized, however the big names like KPBC or Warburg Pincus are so large they have their fingers in everything. You will need to write a business plan and determine how much money it will take to get you off the ground. If it will take less than 1MM then an Angel fund is the best route. 1MM+ then VC might take a look at you. Most VCs are looking for businesses that are in place and have some history of operation. The VC/PE world has changed drastically over the past years. Much tougher to get investments especially in the seed round. Best of luck. Oh and as a side note don't use a service that helps you find capital they are a joke and don't help what so ever.
