<p><b>New page</b></p><div>If you are an emerging firm with the subsequent fantastic 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 people willing to invest in entrepreneurial firms at an early stage - shelled out much 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 process. Safer Smokes Inc. is a single firm that understands the challenge of attracting the proper investors.<br />
This development-stage firm is tapping the smoking cessation industry with a exclusive tobacco-totally free, nicotine-free of charge smoke referred to as Bravo, which has the appearance of a conventional cigarette and burns like tobacco, but is truly 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 firms like Safer Smokes, it may be too soon to strategy significant venture capital firms, but time to move beyond networking with family and close friends. Angel investors to the rescue.<br />
"The challenge for raising capital in today's market is in harnessing the courage and vision of the angel to see via to the true investment chance," said Torigian.<br />
So how do organizations like Safer Smokes attract their angel?<br />
* Have a clear-cut target market place for your item or service. For instance, Safer Smokes is targeting the smoking cessation market, which has sales approaching $10 billion per year, up from $6 billion just 3 years ago.<br />
Most angel investors favor companies that are most likely to show positive money flow inside their 1st 18 months, so getting these types of statistics about your market can be an incentive.<br />
* Match the organization strategy objectives to the angel's threat tolerance. Investors want to know the item or service will be exclusive and nicely-cultivated. Safer Smokes has a patented remedy that business officials say will "influence the landscape of the wellness care business."
