Today’s Tip
Angel investors are looking for companies with high growth potential and strong barriers to entry. They also want a skilled management team and a clear exit strategy.
Here's a breakdown of what they're specifically looking for:
Scalability: Your business should have the potential to generate significant revenue.
Barriers to Entry: What sets your business apart from competitors? Patents, unique technology, or strong customer relationships can be key.
Strong Team: A skilled and experienced team is essential.
Exit Strategy: Investors need to know how they'll get their money back. A potential acquisition or IPO is often the goal.
Local Connection: While not always a deal-breaker, many angel investors prefer to invest in local businesses.
Focus on each of these key areas, and you can increase your chances of attracting angel investors and securing the funding you need to grow your business.

Trivia
Today’s Question: What does “tranche” mean in financial terms?
Previous Question: Do concession stands have to be inspected by a health inspector?
Previous Answer: Yes.
In most states and cities in the US, concession stands are subject to inspection by the health department if they are collecting money for profit.
The local department will usually have a "schedule" of periodic inspections of different types, or may respond directly to complaints of unsanitary conditions.
In some statutes, anyone selling food or beverages to the public is subject to health regulation and inspection, including any concession stands, caterer, church kitchen, farmers' market, grocery store or restaurant. Even a beverage or food vending machine may be inspected for health and safety compliance.
