Where can I read up on how to earn funding from angel investors, especially here in Silicon Valley?


I am interested in finding out how to raise money for my startup company. I need to know how to work with angel investors (or venture capital firms) to raise enough money and not lose my company in the process. If it matter, I live in California near Silicon Valley. Thanks in advance!

Business 20.0 http://money.cnn.com/2006/02/28/magazine... has a very good article on angel investors, what they typically look for, what kind of investments they support, etc.

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)

I think the previous answer is a good one. In general, there is a formula, you give out 30% on seed and 50% on series A, and etc. Unless it is a big business, you kind of get washed out in the end.
