"Hello, my name is Emily Gasner, and I'm with Working Solutions, and I'm going to talk about how to find angel investors. In order to find angel investors, you'll need to know what angel investors are to begin with. So, basically, when a company is a very fast growing company or they're involved in high tech, they often need large amounts of capital to get going or in the first few phases of the business. They may not be in the mode of needing to get a business loan, they may need a larger amount of money. That's when an angel investor comes in. The difference to note is that between a loan and an angel investment, is that the angel investor makes an investment in your business of equity. In return, the angel investor will actually take a portion of ownership in your business, and they want to see, again, that you are in fast growing type of business, or a high tech type of business. If that is your type of business, you can go on the Internet and in your particular area look up, search for angel investors, that have a particular niche of the same type of industry that you're doing. And that's the best way to get started."
