On being an Angel Investor/Angel

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

While I was teaching, one of the required special reports was on Angel Investors.   Anyone could look for one or be one later on.

I  find now myself in the latter situation.    Who is an angel investor:   compared to venture capitalists, these are former entrepreneurs who put in their time and money to assist businessmen who are in trouble.  Or start ups.   They do  not have very strict rules but do require high returns because of the risk involved.

One such group was the group of Dennis Mendiola who was helped  by the Pres of Meralco now (he just retired from Meralco then).    The Angel Investor gave the  group of Dennis the  connection with SMART to make a software for them (involves the E load send)

Those that are I have on my plate are:

New

1.  One memorial park queen pin in an island province wanting to put up 10 in first class municipalities for the next 10 years;

2. A marketer turned developer who needs assistance in funding and new business model.

Turn around:

1.  A memorial park in Northern Iloilo

2.  A memorial park in the heart of Iloilo

3.  A memorial park in Northern Luzon.  This needs huge amount and time because  it has been foreclosed by a bank after being in arrears for nearly 15 years for 8 numbers.

Hoping to help tackle all of them
