    Funding a venture

    I was curious if anyone on here has experience working with angel investors or private capital in general for starting a venture. I have been researching it online and I don't really want to pay +25% returns (almost as much as I don't want to go through a bank).

    What have you seen as the major hold ups that stop a deal from going through?

    What percentage was agreed upon? Was it a flex rate based on performance?

    What did they want you to have at risk in the venture?

    How did you come across the investor?

    How did you qualify them as a valid option?

    Any input would be appreciated.

    TIA.

    depends on the venture, if it something where you are paid with a contract for services and material rendered you could always try a factoring company. they collect 10% of contract value (retainage).

      Something like that wouldn't really be applicable to this type of venture. It's an absolute startup as well so I really need the initial capital then I plan on bootstrapping.

        Turn around and ask a coworker? Fyi, 2 and 20 is the standard PE model.

        Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

        You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

          The more I think about it the more I want to stay away from institutional money in any aspect of it. The business isn't trendy but similar ventures have track records of steady increase and success. I think an angel would be best suited because it is somewhat a niche and someone with experience in a related field would recognize the opportunity.

              Maybe with something later, this idea is pretty much small beans but I think I'll be able to make it work well.
