"Since I joined your angel investment group it has made a lot of difference compared to Invest Smart, a local Australian group. In fact there has been an improvement in the way I think and look for investors. I look forward to uploading my new proposal by Friday. Many thanks for being honest and reliable."

Crowd Funding

In the last few years, “Crowd Funding” is a term that has gained a lot of buzz in various markets, and while its roots come from charities or artists such as independent film makers seeking backing for their project, it is now also referred to in instances when an entrepreneur seeks business capital such as seed money, but decides to try doing so via multiple channels, such as website visitors making donations to fund the website costs and growth.

The Midwest Investment Network is ideal for this strategy, as we and we have a diverse, global community of investors across a wide range of industries. One of the advantages of crowd funding (and of Angel Investment Network for that matter) is that you can not only generate capital for your business, but also spread the word faster – as multiple investors and groups are going to be involved from the start.

There is a lot of debate about whether start-ups should choose crowd funding or angel investment as their fund raising strategy. Our opinion is that you should consider using both channels, as it isn’t easy to raise early-stage funding so is worth exploring as many options as possible.

I am a highly motivated investor who brings a lot to the table. I have worked for the Chairman of one of the largest corporations in the world for the last 10 years. I have many connections that span a wide range of fields including news media, finance, manufacturing, packaging, etc. I can be a hands-on or off investor and am able to see the value in an idea. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Management, Marketing and Finance from Loyola University in 2001. In business I believe that there is always an angle to create success and I am a master at finding those angles. The two biggest mistakes an entrepreneur can make are assuming anything and not planning for every possible problem. It is not possible to plan for every problem but I am very good a catching potential problems before they arise. I do this by never assuming anything and creating very elegant strategies to minimize risk. I know what it takes to be successful and seek to invest in people who do as well.
