Angel investors could be a crucial force in the early-journey of your startup and a necessary support ecosystem before your startup is ready for VCs. Or, you may never need the VC money if you have strong support from angels. Who knows! But. The big question is: How to capture the attention of angel investors?
Welcome to our fireside chat with Per Björklund, Partner at Further Than Capital where we discuss how early-stage startups should approach and present their ideas to angel investors.
Per is a seasoned Angel Investor and Startup Advisor and has a passion of supporting founders in building and scaling their innovations.
In this fireside chat we focus on:
⭐️ Do angels and VCs think alike?
⭐️ When / at what stage startups should approach them?
⭐️ What are angel investors looking for in a startup?
⭐️ Do angel investors invest alone or together? How?
⭐️ How do angels typically work? Hands-on or passive?
⭐️ Where and how can you find angel investors for your startup?
⭐️ How should you present your case to angel investors?
The discussion will be moderated by Naimul Abd - Regional Director Nordics at Startup Grind, CEO at Connect East, and Nordic head for Founder Institute, Nutty Ventures, and Founders Live.
