This month’s topic is one of the most popular. “Inside The Mind Of An Angel Investor”. For most entrepreneurs, raising seed and early stage capital is arguably one of the most challenging steps of starting a company. This financing stage is usually too early for most professional Venture Capital firms. After you’ve put in most of your own money and that of some close friends and family, it is probably time to seek out some Angel investors.
