A Wealth of Data on Angel Investing
Don Dodge shares a lot of great angel investing data in a detailed post worth reading if you are on either side of the investing/entrepreneur fence. A highlight:
The Angel Capital Association did a survey of its members and got data on 590 deals that achieved an “exit”.
47% lost money
26% returned 1X to 4X multiples
15% returned 4 to 6 times their investment
8% returned 6 to 30 times
4% returned 30X or more
Don observes that: “One big winner can cover lots of losers. Angels do 10 times as many deals as VCs, but on average the success rate is about the same.”
There is more money in Atlanta than you think, you just have to know where to look. We have been connecting companies with capital and capital with companies for many years now. We see the market trending up with investors getting back involved with early stage companies. Our angel investor group, The Network of Business Anges & Investors (NBAI) has become quite active in the last several years by investing in over 10 companies. Many of those companies have gone on to raise aggregately over $60M. Part of that momentum is due to the encouragement and education we provide those investors through e-books (www.howtobeanangelinvestor.com) and through our blog (www.myvirtualangelworld.com). We now believe the Southeast is ready to really demonstrate this investing momentum and financial power that resides here by hosting the Southeast Private Equity Conference on April 29th that will bring together 60+ of the hottest up and coming early stage companies with over 100 private investors and venture capitalists (www.sePrivateEquity.org) It will be a showcase event because it focuses on the early stage (beyond start up)company, offers education for both investors and entrepreneurs, and provides an opportunity for 18 of the best to present to acaptive investor audience and vie for designation as best of show.
