About the Session

Join HubSpot for Startups, and our guests from Angel Investment Network, as they cover the foundations of raising angel investment as a first-time founder. 
 

Angel investment can provide crucial early-stage support when traditional funding sources may be inaccessible. Angel investors often bring valuable mentorship and industry expertise, which can help navigate the complexities of launching and growing a business.

Angels typically offer more flexible terms compared to institutional investors, making negotiations easier, and the funding process is often quicker and less bureaucratic. Additionally, securing angel investment can serve as validation for the business model, attracting further interest from other investors.

Join us as you learn what to take into mind when looking for angel funding. You will learn how to identify the right Angels, how to become investor ready and prepare a solid pitch, plus hear from a founder that's done it all before.

Chris Michael

Chris Michael - Founder @ Sing King & Swytch

I am a serial entrepreneur currently focused on growing the ultimate mobile network for business (so if you're reading this you should really see how Swytch can fix the "work phone" problem for you). While traditional mobile network operator inertia has left businesses without an ideal solution for the work phone, it's very rewarding to see so many different types of businesses benefit from Swytch's innovations.

I also started what is now the largest karaoke channel in the world on YouTube with almost 6 million subscribers and close to 1 billion views a year. Very lucky to have worked with a great team that supported the project over the years. We're now working to launch Sing King on more platforms.

IntoMobiles was my first business, which I started while studying law, and it went on to be one of the largest mobile content distributors in the world before spawning Sing King. I also co-founded a beautiful boutique office space (aptly named OfficeBloc) in Soho/London.
