It's also difficult to get the word out when you have money to invest.
As I go to the different events at the University of Miami this week, all I keep thinking about is the Shark Tank Show. I would like to have the same opportunity as those 5 people. At the events, they say how difficult it is to find an Angel Investor. Well, I say: how difficult it is to let people know that I am an Angel Investor. Where do I sign up?
You can tell me!
I actually don't have a proposition for you to tell people that you are an Angel Inversor, aside from doing just that and start telling any entrepreneur you meet... But that would not be practical, would it?
I do have some questions for you though.
Are Angel Investors advised to keep quiet about their financial capabilities? Is it something that is not looked upon well to say "Hey, I've got money and I want to hear your idea"?. And how difficult is it for you to approach entrepreneurs and hear them out without raising the "Shark" alarm and having them get all nervous and in alert mode because they are talking to a potential investor?
Just a curious entrepreneur here :)
