<p><b>New page</b></p><div>If you are an emerging business with the subsequent great item, occasionally you require an angel on your side.<br />
A study by the University of New Hampshire's Center for Venture Study showed that "angel investors" - high-net-worth folks willing to invest in entrepreneurial companies at an early stage - shelled out a lot more than $18 billion into early-stage firms last year alone, compared to $304 million by venture capitalists.<br />
Discovering an angel investor, however, is not an simple process. Safer Smokes Inc. is a single company that understands the challenge of attracting the proper investors.<br />
This improvement-stage firm is tapping the smoking cessation industry with a exclusive tobacco-free of charge, nicotine-totally free smoke called Bravo, which has the look of a classic cigarette and burns like tobacco, but is in fact produced from lettuce fibers.<br />
"Bravo lets you smoke your way out of the tobacco habit steadily," stated Puzant C. Torigian, chief executive officer of Safer Smokes.<br />
For businesses like Safer Smokes, it might be too soon to approach significant venture capital firms, yet time to move beyond networking with loved ones and friends. 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 via to the true investment chance," stated Torigian.<br />
So how do companies like Safer Smokes attract their angel?<br />
* Have a clear-cut target market for your product or service. For example, Safer Smokes is targeting the smoking cessation market, which has sales approaching $ten billion per year, up from $6 billion just 3 years ago.<br />
Most angel investors prefer firms that are most likely to show positive money flow within their very first 18 months, so having these kinds of statistics about your industry can be an incentive.<br />
* Match the business plan objectives to the angel's threat tolerance. Investors want to know the product or service will be exclusive and properly-cultivated. Safer Smokes has a patented solution that company officials say will "impact the landscape of the wellness care market."
