Angel Investing – Entrepreneurs, Founders, Business Startups, Early-Stage Businesses, Lead Investors, Making Your First Angel Investments - Series 2, Episode 1
I look for angel investments that have the potential to produce a 10x return on my investment in 5 years. Startup investing is one of the more risky investment categories. Therefore, you should expect these businesses to have the possibility of doing well. If you invest in 10 businesses, and nine of them fail, the remaining business needs to give you a 10x return just to break even. Ideally, you will do better than that and enjoy healthy returns.
Hansen’s Fruit and Vegetable Juices started as a family business in 1935. Decades later, the company was acquired for $14.5 million in 1992. In 1997, it was already listed on the public stock exchange as a NASDAQ small cap. This is when they first entered the energy drink market. In 2002, they made a slight modification that changed the energy market. They started selling energy drinks in a large can.
This energy drink, “Monster” launched in April 2002. In 2003, their sales passed the $100 million dollar mark. Sales were $98 million in 2002, in 2018, they had $3.8 billion in sales. $3.5 billion of its $3.8 billion in sales were from the Monster line of drinks.
If you invested $10,000 in Hansen, now renamed Monster Beverage Corp, in 2002, your investment would have been worth over $800,000 by 2007. That is over an 80x return on investment in five years for a publicly traded company. Imagine what returns can be achieved from startup investing.

Find Angel Funding & Venture Capital for Business Startups, Entrepreneurs, & First Time Founders – Episode 12
This video is part of my series - Find Angel Funding & Venture Capital for Business Startups, Entrepreneurs, & First Time Founders, learn more by visiting https://bit.ly/3hExYJX
Most startups need funding at some point. Once you have the addressed all of the items in the previous episodes, it is time to build your list of potential investors and start the conversations. They can be friends, family, social network, social media contacts, work colleagues, people in the business industry, etc. Try to put together a list of at least one hundred people. A list of one hundred potential investors may seems like a lot, but the more people you have on the list, the better your chances are of success.
The next step is to talk to people on your list about funding your business. If you want to pitch investors properly, I suggest you do it in a soft, but direct manner. I typically kick off the conversation on a light note. Something along the lines of, “I am starting this business project,” or “I am testing this business concept.” Avoid using salesy language and observe if others show any interest in being a part of your startup business plan.
After starting the conversation in a casual manner, discuss your investment opportunity. Warning, discuss does not mean pitch. These people know nothing about your business. You do not want to overwhelm them with loads of information about your business model.
Think of fundraising as giving people sips of water. Give them information in bits and pieces so they can process them. It depends on how you phrase your sentences to make the potential investor ask for more sips of water.
One mistake excited entrepreneurs make is sending every business detail to everybody. It is almost like giving sips of water with a fire hose and drowning all your potential investors. It makes you sound desperate and you lose credibility. Be patient. Some investors will come to you, and some will not. If they are interested, they will come to you for more. And when they do, feel free to explain your business to them. For the ones who do not come for more, move on to the next one. Or maybe try again with a different business approach in six to nine weeks.
In 2010, Kevin Systrom went to a party for a startup called Hutch. Kevin met two venture capitalists that were impressed by his App, Bourbon. The purpose of Bourbon was so people could make plans, check in, and share photos from places that had good drinks. Shortly after the party, Kevin decided to quit his job and focus on Bourbon. Within only just two weeks, Kevin raised $500,000 from those venture capitalists at the party. By July 2010, they pivoted Bourbon, focusing just on the photo sharing feature of Bourbon. Bourbon was renamed Instagram.
Two years later, in March 2012 Instagram had 27 million users. Facebook purchased Instagram later that year for $1 billion.

Is SEO dead? SEO, or Search Engine Optimization is the process of increasing the quality and quantity of website traffic by increasing the visibility of a website or a web page to users of a web search engine. SEO refers to the improvement of unpaid results and excludes direct traffic/visitors and the purchase of paid placement. Wikipedia
My google search of the term SEO this week shows 728 million results, so obviously it is a thing? But does it actually still work? I said still works because I know it worked in the past let me tell you a story
Before I wrote my book I had a radio show called the business reality network
On this show I discussed the realities of operating a successful business as opposed to the myths
Well one of my earlier listeners reached out to me and said he wanted to meet me
This kid comes out to my office, stereotypical programmer, and we start talking
He tells me that his dad is the head of marketing at one of the big four accounting firms and offers to show me how SEO works
I take him up on the offer, within a couple of weeks I am at least number 1 on google for some fairly-competitive keywords. Fairly competitive meaning there were over a million available search results and other companies were paying for ads targeting the keyword.
I say at least number one because often I would rank multiple times on the first page of a google search. Imagine googling a term like accounting services and see the same business ranked first, third, 4, 7! That was us! It cost me next to nothing!
That was over 10 years ago, today, I have not been able to come anywhere near those type of results using a SEO vendors. I believe most of it has to do with the updates to the Google algorithm. This type of results may not be possible anymore.
However, I know it worked in the past and I want to see if it will work again in the future. That is why I am putting out this challenge. Anyone that thinks they can show any type of measurable traction using SCO are welcome to participate in our SCO challenge. If you would like to participate in the seo challenge,
Please message me if you or your company would like to participate, just message me on any of my digital platforms to receive more information. The top performing participants will receive a ton of free promotion for me.
If none of the companies produce meaningful, measurable results, we will declare SEO dead and move on
Anyone that thinks they can show any type of measurable traction using SEO are welcome to participate in our SEO challenge. If you would like to participate in the SEO challenge, email me, info@OmegaAccelerator.com

Previously, I talked about where to find your lead investor.
What works for me and what doesn't.
Today I’m talking about the biggest challenge you must overcome to find a lead investor
Picture this,
You have been stranded in a dessert for three days with a group of 100 people.
You are out of water and everyone is thirsty.
You finally come across a tent. In the tent there is a guy with water.
Unfortunately, this guy only has one glass of water.
He is willing to give this glass of water to one person.
Here is the challenge...
How are you going to get that glass of water?
This is the challenge you must overcome to find your lead investor.
The odds are tough. Less than 1% of business ever raise any outside capital.
There are specific tactics that I use to level the playing field offset this huge disadvantage. We will discuss some of those tactics in later videos.

What inspires people to become angel investors? I will examine some key reasons below.
They are Looking for an Extraordinary Return on Investment (ROI)
According to Techcrunch.com, Angel Investors can expect to earn a gross multiple of 2.5X their investment in about four years. That is a 250% ROI. Investors that are comfortable with the risks of angel investing may be able to enjoy this type of return.
They Want to Become a Mentor
They relish in the idea of being a mentor to the younger generation of startups. If you have the income and you want to make this type of impact, maybe start making angel investments.
They are Business-Minded Entrepreneurs Who Want to Network
If you’ve made it far enough in your professional career to have the time and money to consider investing, then you are probably already pretty good at networking. angel investors take this to the next level. You can gain unique opportunities to network with people from a totally different perspective. When you are at a networking event, people will find you to pitch ideas.
They Care About Innovation
High-tech angels often care just as much about ROI as they do about introducing high-tech and innovative solutions into the world. These investors might even care more about the mission or impact of a company. If you want to make a difference in the world of medical tech, fintech, or any other industry that has the potential to make a huge impact, then you should consider making angel investments.
They are Looking for Something New
Angel investing is an easy way to give you access to the world of entrepreneurship. This often includes access to new ideas, events, and opportunities. Boredom was one of the reasons I quit my job as a CFO to become a full-time entrepreneur. I have not been bored a day since that decision!
But only 8% of the people that can make angel investments actually do it according to angelcapitalassociation.org. Why?
We have identified several challenges associated with angel investing, including:
-How do I select angel investments to evaluate?
-How can I screen angel investments that interest me?
-How do I monitor my angel investments?
-How can I help my angel investments succeed?
-How do I value an angel investment?
-When will we receive returns on this investment?
-When can I do if the founders you funded wants to quit?
-When can I do if the business fails?
We will address these concerns in future posts. Ultimately you will need to decide whether the benefits of being an angel investor outweigh the risks.

According to investopedia.com, an angel investor (also known as a private investor, seed investor or angel funder) is a high net worth individual who provides financial backing for small startups or entrepreneurs, typically in exchange for ownership equity in the company. Often, angel investors are found among an entrepreneur's family and friends. The funds that angel investors provide may be a one-time investment to help the business get off the ground or an ongoing injection to support and carry the company through its difficult early stages.
The 2017 American Angel study, conducted by the Angel Capital Association (ACA), provided some very useful data points through their survey of 1,659 U.S. angels, the largest such study ever conducted. Their survey included 40 quantitative questions and four qualitative ones which provided these insights:
Angel investors provide $25 billion to 70,000 companies annually, accounting for 90 percent of outside funding for startups.
Angels are more diverse than venture capitalists, with women making up 22 percent of investors.
The racial mix leans heavily towards white investors, who account for 87.6 percent of angels.
The mean age of an angel making a first investment is 48.
The median angel investment is $25,000.
The initial investment is higher in regions outside of California, New York, Boston and San Francisco, where it is $32,432.
63% of angel investors are based outside those major cities.
