When approaching angel investors, it is important to remember that they are not simply financiers. They are also entrepreneurs.

Make sure you are able to articulate your business in a clear and concise manner, as well as highlighting the unique selling proposition (USP) of your product or service.
It is also essential to be able to answer questions about your company's financial info, growth strategies, team composition and competitive landscape. It is also worth bearing in mind that angels invest in early-stage businesses. It means that they typically only commit money if they believe there is significant potential for the company's success. As such, it is critical that you deliver on the commitments made, otherwise you risk losing their support.
While negotiating with angel investors, you need to prepare the financial projections that demonstrate the overall financial performance of your startup and growth potential.

2.1 Negozia la valutazione della tua startup con gli investitori angeli
The valuation of the startup is an area of negotiation. Valuation for early-stage startups might not be a fixed value (like in Stage di semi , Serie A Stage E Serie B Stage Startup) e poiché influisce su quanto equity otterrà l'investitore, gli investitori angelici negoziano la valutazione per raggiungere un valore equo e non eccessivamente elevato della startup in cui stanno investendo. Gli imprenditori raccolgono capitali in cambio di una percentuale nell'avvio.La valutazione dell'avvio determina quanta equità devi rinunciare.Alcuni imprenditori potrebbero finire per avere una valutazione soggettiva sulle loro startup, il che influenzerà negativamente gli sforzi di negoziazione con gli investitori angeli. Potresti finire per valorizzare la tua startup molto alta, il che è qualcosa che spaventerà gli investitori angeli.
First and foremost, the startup’s value is relative to its peers in its industry. This means that although a startup might seem overvalued based on its own metrics, if it is part of a larger and more established industry, its valuation will likely be lower.
Second, when negotiating a valuation, it is important to remember that the investor is not solely interested in the company’s financials. Instead, they are looking to see if the company has potential and if it can be scaled. Investors are also typically interested in the team and their ability to execute on the company’s vision.
Third, it is important to keep in mind that the valuation of a startup is often based on future potential, not past performance. This means that it is important to be realistic about what the company can achieve and how much growth it can expect.

2.2 Find out the Amount to be raised before Negotiations with Angel Investors
Dovrai anche negoziare quanti soldi hai bisogno.Sia l'investitore che il fondatore devono essere soddisfatti della quantità di denaro da fornire o di raccogliere.L'imprenditore vorrebbe ottenere più soldi possibile in modo che possano sentirsi rilassati e gestire il loro piano e avere un buffer in più.Un investitore d'altra parte vorrebbe dare il meno possibile perché vede il rischio e potrebbero avere più progetti in cui investire.
Alcuni suggerimenti per il calcolo dell'importo da sollevare:
1. Stimare la quantità totale di denaro che sarà necessaria per raggiungere gli obiettivi a lungo termine dell'azienda.Ciò include spese sia finanziarie che non finanziarie.
2. Factor in the company's runway (the amount of time it will take to achieve profitability).
3. Calcola il valore dell'azienda in base al suo palcoscenico, al potenziale di mercato e all'innovazione.
4. Determine the desired return on investment for the angel investor. This will depend on the investor's risk tolerance and experience level.

2.4 Have more than one deal on the table while Negotiating with Angel Investors
Un accordo che viene discusso è un investimento di $ 50.000 per una partecipazione del 5% nell'azienda.La società è anche alla ricerca di un impegno di 12 mesi da parte dell'angelo investitore.Un altro accordo è un investimento di $ 100.000 per il 10% dell'azienda.L'investimento sarebbe per 3 anni e l'investitore angelo avrebbe il diritto di votare sulle decisioni dell'azienda.
While these are just two examples, there are many other deals that are being discussed and negotiated. It is important to remember that while these deals are being discussed, they are still tentative and may not happen. It is important to keep in mind that there are many factors that go into making an investment decision, including the company, the product or service, and the financial situation.
Many entrepreneurs don’t have more than one deal at the table and can feel thus as if they are becoming “slaves” to the terms offered by the investor! Relying on their own direct connections, entrepreneurs might find it extremely challenging to reach a deal, let alone having more than one deal at the table.
When FasterCapital is helping bring money to the startup, it reaches out to thousands of angel investors. Having more than one offer will clearly improve the entrepreneur's negotiation power. Let’s say a startup is looking to raise $500k. It can raise that amount from one angel investor or from two. Having two means that each angel investor is feeling the risk is lower and the entrepreneur is able to negotiate how much each is willing to give, i.e. one might be ready to give $300k and then the other investor will be more likely to provide the $200k.

There are a few things you'll need to do if you want to close a deal with an angel investor. First, identify your target market and what type of business you want to start. Once you know these things, you can begin to create a plan that will highlight your product or service and why it's unique. Next, create a financial model that explains how the business will make money and where the money will come from. Finally, make sure your pitch is tight and concise. Make your case for why they should invest in your company and be prepared to answer any questions they may have.
If all goes well, after presenting your business plan and pitching to the angel investor, he or she may offer some advice or help with funding. If everything looks good and the investor is interested in investing in your company, it's time to put together a term sheet (a document spells out all of the terms of the investment agreement between you and the angel investor). Once both parties agree to all of the terms, it's time to get down to brass tacks. Signing the documents is always nerve-wracking but once everything is finalized it will be worth it.
