Currently I am putting together a group of Angel Investors. These are not ordinary Angels, they share my philosophy of investing in teaching and sharing with new Entrepreneurs. My project is to setup an online institution for Entrepreneurs.
The curriculum for this Entrepreneur institute (IE) is based on the criteria the Angels look for in there future investments for startups. This concept is similar to the VC incubators but better. There will be 3 levels of subscription; 1) free discussion with self made Entrepreneurs, much like this forum (in fact I might have to discuss with PhxMJ for help), 2) will be a low subscription amount for further access to free online seminars and classes a la cart, and 3) a full subscription from $99 -$149 per month for the entire access to all classes.
The Angels will be restricted to only investing in up to 40% (non-controlling interest) in each startup and must be involved with teaching the Entrepreneurs how to start and operate a successful business. The idea is to groom willing Entrepreneurs for success, then invest in them. Could be money, time, contacts, or advice invested. I want this to be a community learning environment.
I'm building the platform now. Most incubators put Entrepreneurs through a grueling process with little hope for investment. I want them to learn the best ways for success and receive fair investment into their ventures.
Right now startup investment is very unpopular, which means that only savvy investors know to get in now. Low wages and high expenses always propel more Entrepreneurs to act because they realize their jobs are not secure.
I'll post more details later, right now I'm just working on the buzz. I hope to provide step by step details of this venture startup in this forum.
