Can you imagine being one of the first investors in Google, Facebook, Amazon, or Microsoft?! 🤯

According to Jeff Bezos, the Founder and CEO of Amazon, the first 20 or so outside investors put in around $50,000 apiece for a stake of a little less than 1% of the company at the time. If those early investors had held on to their entire stakes, and those stakes had never been diluted by later investors, they would be $3.5 billion today — a return of 70,000x!

***What is an Angel Investor?***
An individual who provides capital to an early stage company, usually the first outside investment to support the entrepreneur grow their business. This investment decision can be fueled by one of three main ways: 1) to support the entrepreneur, 2) solve the problem the business is solving, 3) make a financial return. Ideally all three of these come into play when making an angel investment.

***Why I'm Making Angel Investments?***
1) I believe in the American dream and the power of entrepreneurship to create global impact.
2) Angel investing is one way to support and give back to the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
3) Rare opportunity to invest in an alternative asset class.

I Stumbled across this. I took an advice from a friend & put a decent chunk of money in trading mid 2021 & this has made me over a million with help of an expert finance manager who helps me trade. I recommend working her.

Thank you for the info.

[dominikkajba]

Which platform should I use to find startups?

[alcfoxxy]

Well, I don't really have a lot of credit card debt. I just have one which it will be paid soon. But if I were to wait until my student loans are paid, I would be waiting forever or never invest at all. Sorry I have wasted enough time waiting already, so I'm going to invest anyway. Your other points are good though. Appreciate the breakdown

[hassanegal]

Great value in this video. I just have 1 question, when looking at 'how should you invest in startups' where do you get those information from and if it's from the company itself, would they give you that information when they don't know who you are even though your looking to invest
