 Hi,

I run a fairly successful start up venture in the media & advertising industry ( specifically the below the line field) out of India. I`ve reached a critical stage where if i really need to leapfrog, i need to look for external investors through some form of angel funding.

India is the pits when it comes to angle investment and anyways most of it is in the ITES space. Does anyone know of where i could seek some info, web sites where i could find contact details of potential angel investors

Pixie,

You are asking a tough question. There`s not any particular place that a person with a lot money hangs out online. Think about what you could add to your business that could help you achieve your goal.

Hi,

I know they don`t hang around online waiting to dole out monies to the first guy who comes along..but the problem is one has to start somewhere in trying to find out who these guys are..

There are some pretty good Indian sites which lists VC`s in the ITES domain space..and i wanted to know if anyone in this group know of any more sites.

Great question.

I do "IDEA PARTY" Events all over North America and we have on a regular basis have "Angel Investors" show up just to have fun, network and learn. You would need to attend one of our live events though in Canada or U.S.A. Spend time with these people then take them for lunch or dinner during one of the breaks.These "Angel Investors" from my experience need to meet you face to face and ask you questions and feel your passionate energy. Here is the website http://www.trusttheprocessevents.com

Good Luck on your journey

Hi Pixie

Pixie I suggest you use another tact to find investors.

Join some business networking communities.

Most good communities you can search members by interest IE Business Investor, Entrenapeurs etc 

See some communities reviewed here

I highly recommend Frihet Holdings LLC

http://www.frihetholdings.com

They are extrememly professional and offer a wide variety of services. Not to mention they are angel investors.

I know its quite a while since you recommended Frihet Holdings, Did you do business with this company - I have a business valuation done by Frihet but we have not been reviewed by senior managment and the waiting for more than 6 weeks to be looked at after the valuation was supposed to be completed by May 31 and not actually completed until June 23rd. I am starting to get very strange feelings about this - what are your experiences?
 
Thanks,

Diane, “cmaslanka” obviously works for Frihet Holdings LLC, so I wouldn’t hold my breath. If you do a little digging you will find out that Frihet’s portfolio companies all belong to the owner of Frihet Holdings (yes, all two of them).

Oh, Mark,  you are so bright on this one - yes, the "Angel" does take a financial interest in owning the companies.  We were committed to be seen by senior management and then, they stopped looking at deals, we didn`t even get looked at, but we did have them do the business valuation - We  turned down, what I knew was a bad offer (but still money) at $500K for 50% of Client Keeper and 100% of the online rights with us receiving a 50% profit royalty.  The offer is so full  of flags but it was real and we turned it down on the advice of the Frihet representative because our valution shows that $500K represents 7% of the company and patent and licensing potential today, but if they would not have encouraged us, we would have taken the offer been on our way to marketing our product offerings the right way three months ago.
 
Now, we sit, no money from Frihet, the individual termed and no $500K or bridge loan or business lines etc.  Really a tough lesson.  I plan on finding a personal conversation with their owner - very soon.....
