Capital Angels invest in companies in Canberra and the surrounding Capital Region with the potential to rapidly scale into market and financial leadership. This usually implies potential for high growth, a strong market position, and a sustainable advantage. Specifically, members look for:
- A market opportunity sufficiently large to create a business with at least >$20 million in annual revenue.
- A compelling, well articulated strategy for capturing and defending a significant market share.
- Proprietary technology or other strong barriers to entry.
- Strong management (not necessarily a complete team) with relevant and successful experience.
- An exit strategy for the investors.
- A desire for advice and coaching.
- Lastly, the company valuation must fit within our risk/reward expectations for the investment.
Normally, members do not consider investments in companies based outside of the ACT and Southern NSW.
Use of Funds
Capital Angels members look for situations where the capital sought (approximately $1 million, or less) will take the company to the next level, and materially increase its valuation.
A company must be able to demonstrate how it will use members' investment to complete at least some of the following:
- Proof of concept
- Prototype of its product or technology
- Patent filing (for broad patent)
- Product development
- Market research
- Product launch
- Major contract or customers
- Management team
- Reduce other investment risks
