ENTREPRENEURS

These are the best of times and worst of times to start a business. They really are the best of times since there a not many competitors, but plentiful human capital and inexpensive factors of production (real estate leases, interest rates, etc.). So we agree that there is less venture capital now than in 2000, but it is still much more than in 1995!

You may wish to send us your business plan, meet with us the following week, and present to the entire angel network immediately afterward. That is really great, but we will ONLY work the following way once we have the fund established:

  • Business Plans are only accepted to be presented through a network member of Florida Angel Investors. If you are not one, then you must convince one to sponsor you. If you do not know one, then you must find out on your own.
  • We only will accept Business Plans for early stage ventures. This does NOT include seed stage ventures that lack proof of concept. We require:
    • Minimum Revenues of $250,000 that can be proven
    • Paying Customers that we can call
    • Working Products that we can test
    • A full business plan (20-30 pages) with all pertinent segments and financials, that is preferably prepared by professionals
    • PLEASE ONLY SUBMIT VENTURES THAT MEET THESE CRITERIA
  • We highly recommend for success:
    • Sustainable competitive advantages (proprietary, unique and not copiable)
    • Large markets ( >$1B)
    • Revenue potential >$100M in five to seven years
    • Returns to investors of 25%-35% per annum
    • Likely exit strategy through IPO or strategic sale in five to sevent years.
    • Full management team ready to go
    • Proven successes in past and potential of brilliance in present ventures
    • YOU CAN ONLY SUBMIT ONCE, SO MAKE SURE YOU MEET MOST OF THE ABOVE RECOMMENDATIONS
