Melbourne Angels exists as a Not For Profit to educate its members on all aspects of early stage investing and then to introduce them to investment opportunities.
We will consider applications from startups that satisfy these criteria:
- High growth potential in a large market
- Plans and aspirations to scale beyond a domestic market (where applicable)
- At or beyond the stage of a working prototype
- Raising up to $1million, but ideally $100k - $600k
- Offering 10 - 20% equity, or pre-money valuation of $1 - $4m, reflecting stage and potential. Startups seeking higher valuations need to be advanced with exceptional potential.
We don't invest in the following types of business activities:
- balance sheet lending
- property developers/owners
- mining exploration and operation
- 'bricks and mortar' retail
- illegal drugs
- gambling
- films
- offensive weaponry
The ideal investment opportunity for Melbourne Angels is in a company:
- With strong intellectual property and strong intellectual capital to serve as both the basis of continued competitive advantage and as the enabler for rapidly scalable growth into global markets
- The opportunity will have a clear value proposition for its target market(s) and early success that will create a compelling value proposition for the targeted exit
- The company may be pre-revenue but, will understand its market and be clear on the intended distribution model
- The management team probably isn't complete but, those involved already will be suitably experienced, demonstrably capable, experts in their target market(s) and welcoming of the advice, mentoring and opportunities that Melbourne Angels will contribute.
