<p><b>New page</b></p><div>If you're an emerging firm with the next wonderful item, occasionally you need an angel on your side.<br />
A study by the University of New Hampshire's Center for Venture Analysis showed that "angel investors" - high-net-worth men and women willing to invest in entrepreneurial organizations at an early stage - shelled out far more than $18 billion into early-stage organizations last year alone, compared to $304 million by venture capitalists.<br />
Obtaining an angel investor, nonetheless, is not an effortless task. Safer Smokes Inc. is one particular firm that understands the challenge of attracting the right investors.<br />
This development-stage firm is tapping the smoking cessation industry with a exclusive tobacco-cost-free, nicotine-totally free smoke named Bravo, which has the appearance of a conventional cigarette and burns like tobacco, but is in fact created from lettuce fibers.<br />
"Bravo lets you smoke your way out of the tobacco habit progressively," said Puzant C. Torigian, chief executive officer of Safer Smokes.<br />
For businesses like Safer Smokes, it may be too soon to strategy large venture capital firms, however time to move beyond networking with family members and pals. Angel investors to the rescue.<br />
"The challenge for raising capital in today's market place is in harnessing the courage and vision of the angel to see through to the genuine investment chance," stated Torigian.<br />
So how do businesses like Safer Smokes attract their angel?<br />
* Have a clear-cut target market for your product or service. For instance, Safer Smokes is targeting the smoking cessation market place, which has sales approaching $10 billion per year, up from $6 billion just three years ago.<br />
Most angel investors prefer organizations that are likely to show positive money flow inside their very first 18 months, so getting these sorts of statistics about your industry can be an incentive.<br />
* Match the business plan objectives to the angel's risk tolerance. Investors want to know the product or service will be exclusive and properly-cultivated. Safer Smokes has a patented remedy that business officials say will "affect the landscape of the health care industry."
