Investors Need Entrepreneurs To Grow Their Capital
Angels / Angel Syndicates
These are usually high net worth (HNW) individuals who have an entrepreneurial backgrounds themselves or a history of backing early-stage businesses. They may act as mentors to the entrepreneurs, offering their experience to provide advice and guidance, in addition to opening new doors and channels for the founders.
An angel group or syndicate is simply a collection of angel investors that seek to evaluate and invest in businesses together, which generally has a particular focus (sector, type, etc). This can represent a larger pool of capital for businesses.
Corporate Venture Capital
With large pools of capital, industry knowledge, and resources, for scale such as marketing and distribution, investment from these investors can be interesting for entrepreneurs as a future joint venture partner or a possible buyout at a future date.
Family Offices
Both single and multi-family offices are an appealing source of capital for entrepreneurs given they represent the capital of some of the wealthiest individuals and families around the globe. SOme newer family offices, founded by successful entrepreneurs, will look more like BCs.
Self-Certified / Professional / High Net Worth (HNW)
These investors are experienced with investing in early-stage equity ranges, from newly curious to buildingh diversified portfolios of companies
Tax-Efficient Investment Funds
These tax-efficient investment opportuntiies are attracted to the vast majority of fund manages who build portfolios on behalf of other investors. THe common funds that entreprreneurs should be aware of are SEIS and EIS funds or Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs).
Venture Capital Funds
VC funds invest on behalf of a group of institutional (e.g. pension funds, insurance companies, endowments) and individual investors (often Limited Partners). The VC will often have specific sectors or verticals that they like to invest in, reflecting their management style.
In addition to capital, VCs will usually be heavily engaged with the business. This will include active board participation and opening up their networks to help make the business a commercial success. A BC will often be a partner for more than one funding round. If a business proves to be successful, the fund will continue to participate in follow-on funding rounds (subject to capital or investment style) and continue to grow and scale the business.
