My research found that angel investors are diversifying the risk of their angel investments by investing in other early-stage businesses. The driver here is that diversification is always the solution. It certainly helps, but only when we use it properly.

I spoke to angel investors who adopted a diversification approach within their angel asset portfolios. One investor had 30 angel assets, another 18.

The question we need to ask is - is diversification a good approach for angel investors?

I've recently purchased a Kindle and am now starting the task of building up my e-library (my bookshelf, and pretty much every other shelf, is covered in hardcopy books!).

I thought I'd take some inspiration from the Oracle of Omaha (well, he is sitting on almost $130 billion dollars).

What types of new venture investors are there?

Last week I wrote about the different types of angel investors. Today I will look at the other types of investors in the new finance market.

I am often asked by entrepreneurs where they can get money – thinking they might be able to snag an angel investor. The reality is, for most of these people, you won’t get an angel investor.

Today I am going to discuss the impact of these changes on the nature of angel investors. By looking at some of the changes in the market, interviewing angel investors, entrepreneurs, VCs etc., and having lots of conversations with others, I reasoned that there might be a number of archetypes of angel investors.

The single biggest challenge for entrepreneurs, particularly at seed stage, is finding capital. Over the last 4 years, there has been a range of policies implemented as a result of the National Innovation and Science Agenda (NISA). These have certainly helped fill parts of the ‘finance gap’, but they don’t deal with the access problem.
