<p><b>New page</b></p><div>If you're an emerging company with the subsequent great product, sometimes you need to have an angel on your side.<br />
A study by the University of New Hampshire's Center for Venture Research showed that "angel investors" - high-net-worth men and women prepared to invest in entrepreneurial firms at an early stage - shelled out far more than $18 billion into early-stage businesses final year alone, compared to $304 million by venture capitalists.<br />
Discovering an angel investor, nevertheless, is not an straightforward activity. Safer Smokes Inc. is one company that understands the challenge of attracting the correct investors.<br />
This development-stage firm is tapping the smoking cessation marketplace with a exclusive tobacco-free of charge, nicotine-cost-free smoke named Bravo, which has the look of a classic cigarette and burns like tobacco, but is actually produced from lettuce fibers.<br />
"Bravo lets you smoke your way out of the tobacco habit gradually," stated Puzant C. Torigian, chief executive officer of Safer Smokes.<br />
For companies like Safer Smokes, it could be too soon to strategy big venture capital firms, yet time to move beyond networking with family and pals. 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 through to the real investment chance," said Torigian.<br />
So how do organizations like Safer Smokes attract their angel?<br />
* Have a clear-cut target industry for your item or service. For example, Safer Smokes is targeting the smoking cessation market place, which has sales approaching $ten billion per year, up from $6 billion just three years ago.<br />
Most angel investors favor companies that are likely to show positive cash flow within their 1st 18 months, so having these types of statistics about your marketplace can be an incentive.<br />
* Match the organization strategy objectives to the angel's risk tolerance. Investors want to know the item or service will be special and properly-cultivated. Safer Smokes has a patented resolution that company officials say will "have an effect on the landscape of the health care sector."
