SpeedFunding is what makes Angels Den unique and so successful. It sounds light-hearted, like Speed-dating, but it’s anything but that! When you have a room full of people simultaneously pitching as if their lives depended on it, the energy is incredible.
By having individual pitching sessions with one or two Angels, the business owner has more chance of success
- Pitchers are less nervous than if they are standing up in front of a group
- Both sides can make eye contact and build rapport much more easily
- Pitchers can gauge the level of expertise of the Angel and tailor their pitch accordingly
- The Angel HAS to concentrate on each business – there is no daydreaming or checking email!
- Nobody is trying to sell anything else – sponsors are lovely but not when you are pitching
- Pitchers get instant advice and feedback from Angels
- The Angel can ask silly questions or re-start the pitch if they don’t understand without being embarrassed
- Ego’s are pretty much left at the door, nobody asks questions just to look good in front of the group
- If one Angel is out, he doesn’t scare the rest of the Angels off
- The short, sharp introduction appeals to serial entrepreneurs who make decisions quickly
All our funding packages include a place at a SpeedFundingTM event. We make personal and email introductions and these are highly effective, but SpeedFunding is always the bit that gets the most interest fast.
If you have a number of people to introduce to us and would like to observe a SpeedFunding event please contact Tracy@angelsden.com or your Regional Manager.
