2. Grow Your Investor + Founder Network ****
If you don’t have high net worth folks in your own network – don’t fret. Here are tips for finding angels to give feedback, and hopefully, write checks!
- Research groups near you. This could be as simple as Googling "[Your City] Angel Networks."
- Look into who has backed startups like yours. Research later stage startups in your industry to see if you can find the angel investors that invested in those companies. Reach out to ‘em!
- Tap into your alum network. If you went to a university with a business school or entrepreneurship program, reach out to the school. Ask if the alum network has an angel fund for companies founded by alums.
- Find other, awesome founders. Connecting with founders is a great way to meet investors + get other type of support and advice. See tips on finding your founder fam below!
