Title: Angel Investment Tracking
Tagline: A match made in heaven
In a Line: A platform which allows angel investors to track their portfolio’s performance automatically over time.
Angel investing can be stupidly lucrative.
Take Peter Thiel’s $500k angel investment in Facebook back in 2004. He got 10.2% of the company at the time. Today, 10.2% of Facebook would be worth $130bn.
It’s one reason why Thiel has more than $5bh in cash sitting in his Roth IRA.
Fundamentally angel investing is pretty similar to gambling, red or black.
The only difference is that it can take years and years for these investments to amount to anything, making it difficult for angel investors to track their investment’s performance over time. The most they usually get is an update email every few weeks from the founders (which we think should be automated per a previous post we made), but this makes it difficult to track performance over time.
For the millions of angel investors around the world this is a big problem…so let’s create a solution for this.
Create a platform which allows angel investors to track their portfolio’s performance automatically over time.
Here’s how it works. Investors sign up to the platform and input details about their investments such as the company name, amount invested etc.. The platform then goes through the investor’s inbox pulling out the key data points from their company’s monthly investor updates. It then creates analysis for each investment showing key trends over time such as revenue performance, number of users etc. which is automatically updated whenever an update is received.
The platform can also connect up to the startup’s banking data, accounting data and other software platforms to give incredibly detailed analytics on the performance of the business month over month, once the founder is happy to share all of this information. This gives the investor great visibility over the performance of the company meaning they can give meaningful feedback to the founder(s) to help them generate a return on their investment.
