Startup Funding Espresso – Key Attributes of a Good Angel Investor

Key Attributes of a Good Angel Investor Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Anyone with an accredited investor status can become an angel investor. Here's a list of key attributes of a good one: They know their industry well and how to invest in it. They know people and can size up a founder to determine if they are a fit for a successful startup. They have actually run a startup before and know what it takes to launch and build a successful one. They take an active role in the startup and help the founders along the way. They add value to the startup. They also add value to other angel investors through coaching and mentoring. They look for startups to fund and not to provide consulting. They know how to screen through a volume of deals to find the viable ones quickly. They provide quality feedback to the founder, raising funding. They know how to perform diligence and where to focus the time spent on it. They reserve funds for a follow-on round. Look for these qualities in an angel investor.
