Hey all, I'll cut right to the chase.
I'm Michal, I've been on this forum for a while but didn't start posting until now.

In my Uni they run an entrepreneurship course, where they get successful entrepreneurs (100mil acquisition types) to talk and teach us what they know and to force us to finally act on Business.

One of these guys is an angel investor. I'm calling him today to organise a coffee meeting with him and discuss my Business idea, a mobile app that'll take startup capital.

Has anyone ever done this? is there any tips you could give on how to convince him to invest or just to be interested in it? i.e any info, stats, etc

Whatever happens, I will be posting how it goes here, along with some knowledge I gained from the course.
Thanks guys (and gals ofc)
