The Right Tools for Start-up Investment—Beyond SAFES and Convertible Notes
Description
As angel investors, we continuously seek innovative solutions, yet our investing models have evolved little over the past decade. Typically, we target a 10X return within 10 years, primarily through preferred equity or convertible notes, with SAFEs gaining traction. While Revenue-Based Financing is a significant alternative, other options remain underexplored. This workshop will examine these alternatives, particularly for investors seeking 2-3X returns in a shorter timeframe. Our expert panel will discuss the right tools if different situations and their applications, challenging conventional approaches and inspiring new ideas in investor financing.
