As an UK based
Active Angel investor I am interested in reducing
risk and maximizing my return on investment. My
experience has been achieved on a hit and miss
basis. I have found little unbiased
quality advice on being a successful angel
investor.
The BBAA is largely a trade organization
and most professional UK Angel networks are geared to
gaining fees from the companies they
represent.
I became fed up at being treated as a
necessary evil. In the credit crunch climate, I felt that
real Angels should be treated as VIP's and not asked
to pay to watch badly thought out
pitches.
When I discussed this with my colleagues
and other Angels, it was agreed that we needed
representation. Not another funding network, secretariat,
lobby group or quango.
It was also felt that members should be
looking to actively invest and not just be 'tire
kickers'.
Our answer
is the Active Angel Association
Our answer is to
create the Active Angel Association. A FREE online
resource for UK based Sophisticated Investors, High Net
Worth Investors and Professional investment
advisers.
As a non profit
organisation, the AAA relies on donations and sponsorship.
It does not undertake deals or funding.
Our main function
is the education of UK Angels to help them improve the
returns they receive from their SME
investments.
This revolves
around this web site, a weekly E newsletter, e books,
surveys, online conferences and sponsored networking
events.
AAA is a virtual
organisation and will not have full time staff or
offices. We are currently discussing
extra support from several professional
advisors.
