Over the years I have compiled a list of angel investors and I figured that I would share that list with you. Before you pick up the phone or send an email I would spend a few minutes reading up on how and why angels invest in early stage companies. Dana Mattioli from the Wall Street Journal put a list of books you might want to read:
“Angel Financing for Entrepreneurs: Early-Stage Funding for Long-Term Success” by Susan L. Preston
“A Good Hard Kick in the Ass: Basic Training for Entrepreneurs” by Rob Adams
“The Venture Capital Cycle” by Paul Gompers and Josh Lerner
“Attracting Capital from Angels: How Their Money — and Their Experience — Can Help You Build a Successful Company” by Brian E. Hill and Dee Power
“State of the Art: An Executive Briefing on Cutting-Edge Practices in American Angel Investing” edited by John May and Elizabeth F. O’Halloran
“Every Business Needs an Angel: Getting the Money You Need to Make Your Business Grow” by John May and Cal Simmons
“Term Sheets & Valuations — A Line by Line Look at the Intricacies of Venture Capital Term Sheets & Valuations” by Alex Wilmerding
“The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything” by Guy Kawasaki
How can I gain access to the list?
