2338, Getting started. Angel vs. Venture Capitalist and a presentation.
Posted by allstarr, Sun Dec-23-12 03:59 PM
Hello, and I want to thank everyone who has taken time to read my post.

I've read a lot on both Angel Investors, and Venture Capitalists. I'm wondering, for someone who is just getting started, what other readers think would be the better approach to seek financing. For me, I'm leaning towards Angels, just because they tend to be actual business owners, and not tied into being part of a bank (sometimes, but not always, for either one).

What I'm looking at is REI (Real Estate Investing). There is something I've come across, referred to as "Subject To" contracts, and the simplest way to describe it, is akin to owner financing. Usually, people who have bad/no credit, but can make the mortgage payments, use it, but it is an option for REI. Obviously, while one could do so without money, as many I've talked to have suggested, it is extremely foolish to try to do something, without a backup, in case, which is why I'm seeking the financing backing, in case I can't immediately "flip."

I have prepared a Power Point Presentation (one of many items), to present to potential investors, so in addition to thoughts on my posting, I'd also like thought on the presentation:

Thanks for your time!
