OPEN finance expert Mike Periu discusses finding funding with Angels When Looking for Capital for small businesses.

A recent study by the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire indicates that angels invested over $9 billion in companies last quarter, an increase over the previous period. The problem is that virtually all of that money goes to medical device, software and biotechnology companies. What if your company doesn’t operate in one of these categories? How to find Angels When Looking for Capital? Consider reaching out to micro-lending groups like Accion USA, online merchant funders like Kabbage and non-profits that connect small companies with investors like Springboard Enterprises.
