<p><b>New page</b></p><div>If you are an emerging organization with the subsequent excellent product, at times you want 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 folks willing to invest in entrepreneurial firms at an early stage - shelled out a lot more than $18 billion into early-stage companies last year alone, compared to $304 million by venture capitalists.<br />
Finding an angel investor, however, is not an simple activity. Safer Smokes Inc. is one particular organization that understands the challenge of attracting the appropriate investors.<br />
This development-stage organization is tapping the smoking cessation industry with a distinctive tobacco-free, nicotine-totally free smoke named Bravo, which has the look of a standard 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 steadily," mentioned Puzant C. Torigian, chief executive officer of Safer Smokes.<br />
For organizations like Safer Smokes, it may possibly be too soon to approach big venture capital firms, yet time to move beyond networking with family members and pals. Angel investors to the rescue.<br />
"The challenge for raising capital in today's industry is in harnessing the courage and vision of the angel to see via to the actual investment chance," stated Torigian.<br />
So how do organizations like Safer Smokes attract their angel?<br />
* Have a clear-cut target marketplace for your item 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 three years ago.<br />
Most angel investors favor organizations that are likely to show positive cash flow within their 1st 18 months, so having these types of statistics about your market place can be an incentive.<br />
* Match the business program objectives to the angel's threat tolerance. Investors want to know the item or service will be distinctive and nicely-cultivated. Safer Smokes has a patented answer that organization officials say will "impact the landscape of the well being care sector." [http://www.ideaangels.com/ setting up a business]</div>GlassmanCoggins435
