Inc42 spoke to 600+ Angel Investors to share the 5 common key challenges when it comes to investing in startups.
Here's the list, and our way of helping you with each of them.
1. “Don’t feel confident enough when making the investment!”
This could be due to a lack of market knowledge (where startups target), a lack of investment knowledge and processes, or by blindly following the herd mentality/friends (peer pressure of investing in startups that they don't understand.)
We can help you to align with the right angel networks/syndicates to learn the game first. Let's connect on LinkedIn.
2. “Don't know how to assess the valuations of these startups?”
3. “Don’t know how to find interesting startups?”

5. “Not sure if I’m betting on the right founders?”
