Next Steps: More Angels
The angel investment in startups that are part of the ranking has grown from $ 24.6 million in 2018 to $ 33.4 million so far in 2019. About 80% of businesses are looking for more investment to grow.
This insight, coupled with the interest of one-third of the 15,000 executive base to devote more time and resources to startup growth, has made 100 Open Startups inaugurate the 100 Open Angels platform .
Launched late last month, the program will connect network startups to angel investors. In the first round of investments, 25 of the top-ranked startups will be capturing angel investors.
The super angels (investments of $ 500,000 and above, for qualified investors), angels ($ 50k real investments) and angels crowd ($ 5k of investments) create your profile and can demonstrate interest in the startup of choice. If it matches, both meet in person at 100 Open Startups events.
The trading preference is given in the order of the investment amount. The super angels and angels have already negotiated with startups; This week, it will be the turn of the crowd angels .
After the meetings, a restricted public offering will be made on the Basement / Kria equity crowdfunding platform. The startup withdraws the money and passes the metrics of its business regularly to investors. 100 Open Startups holds monthly events where investors and startups can meet in person.
The network estimates a term of three years for the investor to withdraw the amount invested with income, in the event of a liquidity event (acquisition or secondary sale of participation, for example). More than $20 million have already been promised by the angels. The goal is to reach $1.5 million per startup in this first round, totaling $37.5 million .
“We will compile the next ones investors want to contribute, reaching 100 startups invested by the program and $150 million raised over the next 12 months. Each round should take three months to complete, ”says Bruno Rondani, CEO of 100 Open Startups.
Whether in the interest of companies or executives, Brazilian startups want to ride the big wave of optimism with innovative businesses.
