<p><b>New page</b></p><div>If you're an emerging firm with the next excellent item, often you require an angel on your side.<br />
A study by the University of New Hampshire's Center for Venture Research showed that "angel investors" - high-net-worth people prepared to invest in entrepreneurial organizations at an early stage - shelled out much more than $18 billion into early-stage organizations last year alone, compared to $304 million by venture capitalists.<br />
Finding an angel investor, even so, is not an effortless task. Safer Smokes Inc. is a single business that understands the challenge of attracting the right investors.<br />
This development-stage company is tapping the smoking cessation market with a distinctive tobacco-free of charge, nicotine-free of charge smoke called Bravo, which has the appearance of a standard cigarette and burns like tobacco, but is actually created from lettuce fibers.<br />
"Bravo lets you smoke your way out of the tobacco habit progressively," mentioned Puzant C. Torigian, chief executive officer of Safer Smokes.<br />
For companies like Safer Smokes, it may possibly be too soon to strategy significant venture capital firms, but time to move beyond networking with loved ones and pals. Angel investors to the rescue.<br />
"The challenge for raising capital in today's marketplace is in harnessing the courage and vision of the angel to see by way of to the real investment chance," mentioned Torigian.<br />
So how do companies like Safer Smokes attract their angel?<br />
* Have a clear-cut target marketplace for your item or service. For instance, Safer Smokes is targeting the smoking cessation industry, which has sales approaching $ten billion per year, up from $6 billion just three years ago.<br />
Most angel investors favor firms that are most likely to show positive money flow inside their first 18 months, so having these sorts of statistics about your market place can be an incentive.<br />
* Match the enterprise program objectives to the angel's risk tolerance. Investors want to know the item or service will be unique and well-cultivated. Safer Smokes has a patented solution that firm officials say will "influence the landscape of the well being care sector."
