ENTREPRENEURS SEEKING CAPITAL

Secure Screening Questionnaire

We are private investors in early-stage companies and have zero interest in stealing your ideas.  We are already busy enough and simply want to invest in the very best startups. 

Please consider your answers to the questions and your business ideas to be held in the strictest of confidence.

Below are pretty basic questions you should expect to be asked by anyone from whom you are seeking capital.

1.  Describe your business.
2.  Why do you need money?
3.  How much money do you need?

4. What percentage of the business will your investors obtain for their invested capital?

5. What are you doing that nobody else is doing?  Why are you unique?

6.  What would stop a big company from entering your business territory?

7.  What is your marketing plan?
8. a. Do you have customers?
Yes No
8. b. Do you have revenue? Yes No

8.c. If not, who are your target customers?

9.  Who is the principal entrepreneur?

10.  If you are a technology startup, what are you coding in?  Briefly describe your technological infrastructure.

11.  Again, why do you need money and how will you distribute it?

12.  How long will the requested capital last?
13.  What is the best way to contact the lead entrepreneur? 
Please provide your Email Address.
Thank You

We use this secure questionnaire to screen for entrepreneurs and businesses that are suitable for our private investors.

One of our lead investors will contact you within seven days. 

You can expect one of three responses from us:

1.  If we think we can build a ‘Gain – Gain’ relationship with you and your enterprise, we will certainly invite you to meet with us in person.  It is vital that the fit between entrepreneurs and investors is positive and synergistic.

2.  If we choose not to meet with you we will still try to help.  We want to see success.

We will share with you our thoughts and insights gained during our critical appraisal of your business.  If appropriate we will put you in contact with other people in our network who may be of assistance to you.

If, in our opinion(s), we do not think your venture will succeed, we will let you know.  If we think that your ideas are good but off-target, we will also let you know.

3. We are most likely to reply to you with more questions.  Often we need additional information or clarification in order to make our first decision – should we meet.

We meet with a significant number of the entrepreneurs seeking capital but please understand that most angel investors actually invest in only a very small percentage of all startups seeking capital. We are no different.

If you are selected to present in person, we will give you more details regarding a future meeting with our investors.  We are a friendly bunch who are interested in investing capital in unique and clever businesses with the expectation of a large return on our investment.
