Angels like to "kick the tires." Angel investors are usually living within fifty miles of your office. Because of this policy. Angel investors want to reach out and touch their risk capital investments. Theyll want fifty
percent equity in your business for their funds
. Its a losing formula for
the angels because more than half of their investments fail. However,
touching someone doesnt protect the investor from loss. Assuming an honest entrepreneur, a simple program to limit investment risk works better.
Sophisticated Investors want to quickly recover their risk capital.
Profits and ownership are secondary to risk management. Ive taught this
risk management principle to my my clients for over for twenty many years. For our money, we want a costless ride on any companys future success. We want our risk capital returned within weeks of our investment. Well wait years to take our profit.
I am
building
the Global Village Investment Club on the identical
principle. Well invest in operating non-U.S. companies with a national market for their product or service. Management should be seeking money to expand their markets by asset acquisition or globalization. The business plan must be clear and clear-cut. The upside potential in 5-7 many years must be at least
tenfold the Club members investment.
WE WANT LIQUIDITY. This means the business
must be willing to be public in the United States. Well expect the company to be recieved by a multination in a few many years. Beowulf Investments will supply these companies the need public business
services. The Global Village Investment Club will do PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equities) financings fund the businesses
initial acquisition in a M&A growth strategy.
The Club will do the Private Placement investments using U. S.
Federal Securities Laws to protect our members against fraud. This means the companies will be U.S. Public Companies.
Global Village Investment Club members will select their investments based upon an e-mail news letter
that supplies hard data on the business
and its plans.
If you are a sophisticated investor who understands that risk
management is more important that reward, wed welcome you as a member. Please visit: [http://home.earthlink.net/~beowulfinvestments/globalvillageinvestmentclubwelcome/]
The GVIC investment strategy will be to return our members risk
capital quickly. Our members will bury their remaining stock in the public
company for several months. Meanwhile, the public business
will grow into a
multinational super company using an M&A growth strategy. Well all exit the company when its recieved by a major multinational corporation.
