Early financing relies on “patient money,” which is to say money that is invested with the expectation of making gains through increased equity value. A particular source for informal risk capital are individuals known as angels. This can be anyone from an Uncle Simon who has faith in his nephew’s new software package and bankrolls the deal, to a private investor. Surprisingly, these sources are more common than the name implies. In the United States angels are key investors in 30000-40000 small ventures each year and are the single largest external source of capital. These investors usually look for a high return on their investment, upwards of 60 percent ROI, and live in the communities where they make their investments.
An emerging trend is the growth of “venture fora,” or forums where numbers o angels and investors gather to receive presentations from new entrepreneurs. These gatherings occur monthly at a luncheon or breakfast and have proven to be an excellent source of funding. Bryant et al. point out that “perhaps the most important indicator of the importance of the venture from is the absence of any other market in which these critical linkages (investors and entrepreneurs) can be expected to take place.”
