Private Venture Capital through Angel Investing

A Business Angel has money and skill,
smart businesses can use both.

Dear site visitor,

Whether you are here for the first time, or you are a regular visitor (as our stats show many of you are), welcome! Thank you for visiting the Business Angels website.

On July 2, 1992 - 17 years ago - I began creating this Business Angel matching service. Over time many similar services have come and gone. Why am I still here you might ask? The simply reason is that I understand the importance of relationships. Using my experience in recruitment I am able to put people together according to a number of synergies. It is all very well to have the best business idea in the world, but without a certain level of experience, or very expensive advisors, your idea may not prosper.

Having said that, the best business idea carefully documented in the smartest business plan coupled with a large amount of money is no guarantee for success either. If that is what you are looking for you miss the point. Success depends on the right team of people. Success depends on how the angel investor's experience and skills nest with your own. When you tick all the compatibility boxes then the real negotiations begin.

The major sticking point for all the deals we see is about agreeing on value. We live in a society that values money highly and does not value creativity and innovation highly enough. At the same time, the innovator does not accurately value the experience and expertise of an angel investor as much as they should often.

If I had one wish for our 17th birthday it would be for more angel investors and more entrepreneurial businesses to think deeply about how they could work more closely together. In this way Australian innovation could make a great contribution to both the Australian and the global economy.

  • Are you looking for a particular type of investment? Place your profile under angels available so that businesses can see what you have to offer. We will personally match your requests and email an overview of screened business opportunities to you.

We will email your expanded profile to the angel investors when your business proposition matches the angel's requests.
Yours Sincerely,
Christine Kaine
Founder

"The guide is really a very, very good document. It addresses the key issues directly and succinctly. Well done." MS (Investor)

"I read and enjoyed thoroughly the Private Capital for Private Companies guide" LW (Investor)

"Thanks for the 'Private Capital for Private Companies Book', it was great reading. KH (Business)

"I have read your guide. It was extremely re-assuring and you could take up life as a profiler if your match making service was not so successful. So far everything we've done with regard to our project is in line with your guide to the point that it is "text book" fashion. Quite a co-incidence really. PC (Business)
