The Business

The core idea behind AngelLinx is to change the way entrepreneurs and start-ups connect with Angel investors. Most founders waste too much time trying to raise investment capital, and more often then not they fail. The main reason for this is that founders approach everyone and anyone looking for investment rather then focusing on specific investors and building relationships with them. Realising that building relationships with investors is one of the key factors to getting a deal done, the idea of AngelLinx was born.

The aim is to build the worlds largest network for entrepreneurs and investors where they can interact exchange ideas, build relationships and gain investment.

Unlike other social networks, our platform is purpose built for one specific niche, for example, people don't go on LinkedIn or Facebook to find investors or to connect with entrepreneurs, AngelLinx is the ideal place for these two groups who have a real need to connect with each other.

The Market

Here are some statistics on startup businesses;

- 16% of all new businesses are now started by someone under the age of 35.

- 69% of US entrepreneurs start their business from home.

- Having two founders, rather than one, significantly increases your odds of success as you’ll:
* Raise 30 percent more money
* Have almost 3X the user growth, and
* Are 19 percent less likely to scale prematurely.

- 82 percent of businesses that fail do so because of cash flow problems.

- 27 percent of businesses surveyed by the NSBA claimed that they weren’t able to receive the funding they needed.

There is also more money being invested in startups then ever before. Investing in startups has become the new status symbol and the pursuit of finding the next Uber, instagram or airbnb has become an attractive venture.

"If you can't invent the future, the next best thing is to fund it" - John Doerr, Venture capitalist.

Here are some impressive statistics on startup funding. (Figures based on US only)

- From 2003 to 2011, an average of 157 new VC funds were raised each year. But from 2012 onward, that average rose to 223, or an impressive 42% increase.

- Since 2011, a whopping 60% of all funds raised every year have been seed funds (compared to less than 30% a decade ago).

- In the past 15 years, the amount of money invested by US-based VC firms into startups grew more than 4x to almost $85 billion dollars last year.

- Since 2011, the average number of seed deals per year (4,300) is now about equal to the average number of non seed deals per year (4,500).

- On average, there are more than 7x the number of billion dollar exits now than a decade ago.
