Can you imagine being one of the first investors in Google, Facebook, Amazon, or Microsoft?! 🤯
According to Jeff Bezos, the Founder and CEO of Amazon, the first 20 or so outside investors put in around $50,000 apiece for a stake of a little less than 1% of the company at the time. If those early investors had held on to their entire stakes, and those stakes had never been diluted by later investors, they would be $3.5 billion today - a return of 70,000x!
**What is an Angel Investor?**
An individual who provides capital to an early stage company, usually the first outside investment to support the entrepreneur grow their business. This investment decision can be fueled by one of three main ways: 1) to support the entrepreneur, 2) solve the problem the business is solving, 3) make a financial return. Ideally all three of these come into play when making an angel investment.
**Why I'm Making Angel Investments?**
1) I believe in the American dream and the power of entrepreneurship to create global impact.
2) Angel investing is one way to support and give back to the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
3) Rare opportunity to invest in an alternative asset class.

I Stumbled across this. I took an advice from a friend & put a decent chunk of money in trading mid 2021 & this has made me over a million with help of an expert finance manager who helps me trade. I recommend working her.
I'm new to wall street & I’ve a large amount of cash in liquid asset I need to invest but idk how. How can I reach your FA to help me ?
@@kaoyang435 Alright. Nothing beats working with an expert. Erlinia Jedraa Barrett is well known, make some research on her.
I live in Copenhagen, Denmark & Erlinia Jedraa Barrett trades for me too. My Dad's friend referred my dad & I to her. I researched her & reached out. She has tripled my 100,000 in few months of trading. She's amazing. Cheers 🥂🍺🌺

Really enjoyed this, thanks! As an inspiring investor/ someone looking to expand their assets I think videos like this really keep things simple without it coming off as remedial. Really well done!
Thanks for watching and let me know what other videos might be helpful for you. Have a great week!
@@fksebati You as well! I think almost as a follow up a video further delving into what qualities you look for in the team being you marketed that as the high point of importance may be helpful. Though that might be a bit too in depth for a free platform. Either way- I appreciate the efforts and am happy to have stumbled up this & hope to gather more info from you/ connect!
@@chadcole1398 That sounds great! I have a few videos planned out already for CZcams over the next few weeks/months, and I'll add this idea to the mix for a future video as well!
Thankyou for your videos I have so many ideas. This is so helpful

Can you do a actual screen record of how we go online and buy shares in companies and invest in specific start-ups?
Hey Josh, that's a great idea! I'll make that video within the next couple of weeks!
@@fksebati My man. Thank you.
Thank you for this video
You bet! Happy New Year!! 🎉
Awesome, love what you are doing. I don't understand what happens to your investment after a larger company merges or acquires the startup.
Thank you for the info.
Great question! It depends on the terms of the acquisition.. Sometimes your investment position just converts into stock in the acquiring company or it's a cash payout. It could be a combination of both!
Great video sir!
Thanks for watching!
Which platform should I use to find startups?
How is the waterfall structure for the crowdfund?
Great presentation
Thanks for watching!
does Uber get angel funding first or generaring $100k monthly revenue first ?
Great value in this video. I just have 1 question, when looking at 'how should you invest in startups' where do you get those information from and if it's from the company itself, would they give you that information when they don't know who you are even though your looking to invest
Fantastic question! Companies that are raising money online will have 2-3 tings (at a minimum available) including: 1) A pitch deck that overviews the business, 2) If they're doing Regulation Crowdfunding, you can see their Form C filed, 3) A one-pager/website that lists the following: Problem they're solving, solution, market sizing, finances, team, competition.
Well, I don't really have a lot of credit card debt. I just have one which it will be paid soon. But if I were to wait until my student loans are paid, I would be waiting forever or never invest at all. Sorry I have wasted enough time waiting already, so I'm going to invest anyway. Your other points are good though. Appreciate the breakdown
Great points, investing in the public market is much different than investing and startups. Keep an eye on the interest rate on your debt and of course you should get started with public investing!
Awesome
Inspiring
Thanks for dropping by!
does airbnb generare $100k revenue first or get angel funding first ?

Do you interest about opportunity in Dubai
If i invest in a company, how long will it take before i receive revenue?
Im new to all of this so dumb question what does it mean when they say “ total securities offered 50,000”
50,000 what exactly
Nice video. Thank you.
But can foreigners who are not living in the US be able to invest in this startup without restriction?
Great question! Yes, most nationalities can invest in US based companies on Wefunder and other platforms. For my own company, we have investors from 36 countries. There are a few restrictions, but a majority of countries are allowed!
Plants free of water deficit events more efficiently absorb available plant nutrients enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential. SWRT membranes installed below plant rootsystems retain water where it falls, providing continuous delivery of drought-free periods up to 3 times longer than intensely irrigated control sands without root zone water retention membranes (Guber et al, 2016).
Quick question. If I invest in a company 100$ and the shares are valued at .46 cents . If it goes public and get bought out will my share price go up? Do I have to sell my shares and are they gonna pay me the value .46 cents per share when I first bought it or different?
Great question! Most likely you won't have control over this outcome. If the company is acquired for cash post investment, then depending on the terms of the deal, you could be paid out in cash. This would be considered a capital gain (tax-wise) if the acquisition price was higher than the investment. In your example, if the acquisition price was $1/share and you invested at $0.46/share, then your appreciation is the difference ($0.54/share) and that appreciation what you would be taxed on. In that example, you would get the $1/share as a payout. In the case of an IPO, most likely, the share will simply convert to the public market and you would not be forced to sell. This is simplified, but hopefully it gives an idea how it could work.

Where do you get the contracts when becoming an Angel investor?
Good question. Most likely the startup will have a contract for you to sign rather than you producing the investment contract. The only time the investor will bring forward the contract is if they've done this dozens of times and/or they're leading the round. Similarly if it's a venture capital fund, they will use their own contracts.
If i invest in a startup and lets say I get 10% equity do I have to give up some of that equity when the startup is rasing funds again or do I keep the 10%?
Great question! You are correct, if and when the startup raises more funding, most of the time the overall pie of shares gets bigger and initial shareholders are diluted. This is where Pro Rata Rights come in. This gives the investor the right to maintain their ownership position in future rounds by continuing to invest at the terms of the new funding round. This normally is only granted to major investors who are contributing a relatively large investment and/or have the ability to continue to invest much more capital in the future.
Hi, I have 0 idea on how to start investing but I want to start small and willing to learn the basics. Is it worth to start investing the minimum amount (like $100 or $300)? And how about taxes?
Yes, you should absolutely start investing as soon as possible even with $100. I would NOT think it’s a good idea to invest in private startup companies to get started. Instead take a look at S&P 500 index funds and building a consistent strategy for the long-term. I recommend Graham Stephan’s channel on CZcams to get a beginners overview of investing in general.
Wow, thank you for your reply 😊
@@iammelloddee take a look at Penny stocks
Wherre can i buy startups safely in Canada ?
I believe a few of the platforms have Canadian startups listed. Some are based in Canada with US entities raising on Wefunder, Start Engine, Republic.
how do I get a list of start-ups?
This is a great question! I recommend starting by researching startups that are raising funds on the biggest platforms: Wefunder, Republic, StartEngine!
@Kim Berly I have my own broker who I have had for a long time, but thanks anyway.
Did you have any experience in investing in general?
Great video, much needed content. For those of you actively angel investing on equity crowdfunding platforms, I do in-depth analysis on companies that raise on StartEngine, Republic, Wefunder, Seedrs and Crowdcube on my channel. The idea is to add value to your own research.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🇬🇧🇬🇧
I disagree.
Build saving emergency fund
Then invest and pay off loans at same time.
Talking too much and not coming to the point 😒
If you're thinking on investing or getting funded through Wefunder, think AGAIN and look for better alternatives that at least respond its client's emails and tweets 👎🏻
LSS: I invested in a company, the CEO told me they didn't receive it, I reach out to WeFunder and they're just ghosting me.
Hey Martin, I recommend reaching back out to Wefunder. They have a legal obligation as a SEC certified platform to followup with all investors for stuff like this.
@@fksebati which I have, every day for the past week. Even one of the founders of the company I tried to invest in said: "it's been an uphill battle with WeFunder".
I really hope it's all just a misunderstanding.
Meantime, I have contacted my bank.
@@mroldanmx let me know if you don’t get a reply by next week! We’ll take the thread offline and I’ll shoot over an email.
@@mroldanmx Any response?
GOD loves you enough to send HIS only SON to save you and if you repent and turn from your sins and be baptized in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT. ((if you haven't )
START ENGINE IS A SCAM.
