Hiring?

The goal of the angel investment network is to connect angel investors with entrepreneurs and business founders who are looking to fund their early-stage start-up or to grow their existing business in Dallas. With sites all around the world, we connect US investors locally and globally.

For entrepreneurs that are based in Dallas-Fort Worth and surrounding areas that are looking to fund a business there are several different options that are available. Some individuals will partner with a co-founder to split the costs, or they might look to fund their new business out of their own savings, on credit cards or even with personal bank loans.

Many new business owners might think that traditional financial institutions such as banks and venture capital firms will help provide early-stage investment, but this is not normally the case since these types of companies typically require a trading history so it can be hard work securing any money at all via this method. This might suit a business that is already established and looking to expand but even then, the criteria for investment can be quite high.

This is the reason why angel networks are increasingly popular since these types of investors typically go out of their way to find early-stage companies that are looking to launch, grow and expand.

That is not to say angel investors will not do their due diligence prior to making any investment decisions, so it is still important for a business to present a comprehensive business plan so that any investors will see what figures are predicted and to help take your Dallas business more seriously.

Another benefit from an angel investor is that some (but not all) offer a form of mentorship. So, if you are looking for advice and help with your business past the financial aspect, then picking an angel who is happy to fulfil the mentor role is a bonus that can help your business grow even faster.

These kinds of business venture partners are invaluable. It is often said that it is 'who you know', rather than 'what you know' and when partnering with a knowledgeable and well-connected investor, it can make it seem that this is indeed the case. Finding someone who knows the Dallas-Fort Worth area and has contacts in and around Dallas can be invaluable to the new business that is just starting out.
