Ik kreeg van een collega in Amerika, de volgende tien redenen voor informal investors om zich te formeren in een groep in plaats van alleen te opereren.
Het lijkt mij goed ook een idee te hebben hoe de andere kant denk over de investeringsrisico's.
NUMBER ONE: SHARED RISK
One is truly a lonely number. Individuals investing in a group environment allows
for shared investment risk across multiple opportunities. This also leads to a later
discussion topic, diversification.
NUMBER TWO: LEVERAGED INVESTMENT
Perhaps the most important reason to form a group is leverage. Pooling money
makes possible investment deals graced with negotiation for better pricing and
preferential treatment.
NUMBER THREE: DIVERSIFICATION
When the corpus of investment capital raised from among a group of angel
investors is applied across a variety of deal types, diversification is achieved.
This reduces risk as it increases the probability that not all of the deals may be
affected the same way by market conditions or other factors. Conversely, one or
another of the deals may suddenly sparkle as development efforts bear fruit
given a changing set of market conditions.
NUMBER FOUR: DEAL FLOW
There is no real secret to getting in on good deals. They go where the money is.
Areas of high capital concentration attract entrepreneurs who have business
opportunities investors want to see. The pool of early stage money is a powerful
attractant to capital hungry companies on the road pitching their opportunities to
find "smart money". The smart money of angel investors sees deals often never
seen except by angel groups that have the reputation for putting money into early
stage companies.
NUMBER FIVE: SIZE MATTERS
Pooling of angel investment dollars builds a cache ready to handle the
development of an early-stage deal through to exit. Whether the additional
dollars go toward follow-on needs of the business or to assume the full financial
burden of a new company, size matters in achieving investment success.
NUMBER SIX: TAX INCENTIVES
Take advantage of the government's tax policies in your angel career.
Governments, including local, state, and federal, recognize the role of assisting
new businesses through tax incentives rewarding angel investment if the right
business entities are created. This may be an LLC or another vehicle structured
to make the early-stage investments. The state has provided that qualified
groups that invest in qualified companies can immediately receive 20% to 30%
tax credits for state income tax.
NUMBER SEVEN: SHARED EXPERTISE
Pooling talent makes investigating, investing, and helping manage a portfolio of
companies possible. Pooling experience helps provide the mentoring young
managers need in a variety of situations.
NUMBER EIGHT: GROUP SYNDICATION
Attracting other investors to complete financing requirements is often made
possible by having significant investment by a "local lead angel g roup". Angel
groups often share or syndicate investment opportunities with other groups. This
allows for investment group portfolio companies to complete financing rounds, as
well as, exposing groups to additional deal flow. Syndication is a critical element
in early stage financing. Angel groups typically have an investment threshold
and need other groups to participate in company financing to be successful. This
is an essential part of the exit strategy from a specific deal by the angel group
and, subsequently, the payouts to individual angels from the profits of the group.
NUMBER NINE: STRUCTURING THE EXIT
Significant equity investment is required to leverage traditional financial and
credit sources from local banks, finance companies, and other lenders. Getting
the size of equity investment right and showing the next round of investors that
more than one visionary angel believed in the deal set the stage for exit of the
angels at the time the deal's market expansion requires venture capital.
NUMBER TEN: CAPTIAL IS PRIMARY
Start-up and early-stage companies have many needs but the greatest is early-stage,
patient, high-risk capital. Many of the other needs, such as space,
equipment loans, tax incentives, workforce training, and even temporary
management support, can be subsidized through numerous community and
economic development initiatives that are fairly uniformly available any where.
But it is access to operating capital, usually available only through equity, that is
the lifeblood of the pre-profit companies. This money makes it possible to meet
the payrolls, market the products, and grow the company. Almost always, this
money must come from angel investors who serve themselves while serving the
company if they have organized into an angel investment group to take
