Invest In Start Ups And Private Equity The Easy Way
Investing in StartUps is exciting, but risky. But it can be very rewarding if and when the investments do pay off especially if you choose the right sources of passive income for you.
Investing in Start Ups can be very lucrative, but you can also lose all your money.
Investing in Start Ups is hard, hard to find the best ones and hard to know how to invest…
Actually, scrap that last point, Investing in smart, profitable, Start Ups, is a lot easier than you may think.
I’ve been personally doing this for the last 10 months and my portfolio valuation is already up by 59.8%
TL;DR
- Investing In Startups Made Easier – independent of public markets. E.g. not influenced by the economy or stock exchange
- Yields – royalties can often pay far higher returns than dividends and bonds
- Consistency – with many royalties you are almost certain of earning a return. They have been shown to offer a high level of consistency in terms of earnings and payments
- Increased reach – royalties are on the rise thanks to technology and user behaviours (Think streaming platforms)
- More opportunities – modern productions are frequently creating more rights holders for each piece of work
How Do I Invest And Make Money With StartUps & Private Equity?
If you have had any experience with StartUps, Angel or VC investors you will have more than likely head of the 1 in 10 rule.
For those that don’t know, investors are generally looking to invest in ten or more companies to spread the risk, as it likely that 50%-70% of the investments will fail, 10-20% of them will do enough to get their money back and one, just one, is likely to make a significant profit. It is that 1 out of the 10 investments which makes the investor his money.
And you can stretch that out to 1 in a 100 (or more) for those looking for the so called “Unicorn”, otherwise known as $1bn+ valuation.
Investing in StartUps can be risky, can involve a lot of time, research, expertise and inside knowledge, and capital.
Fortunately for all us Profit Hackers, there is now a much easier, affordable way to invest.
Introducing the Angel Business Club – The Worlds Largest Angel Business Investment Community.
“By the use of Digital Media we have created a platform that caters to a community of business angels – to harness and match Angel Capital with unique business ventures – to deliver accelerated growth”
The Angel Business Club was created in June 2015 with a vision to transform the way people engaged in and managed their investments. The mission was to think differently and focus on the investor as the catalyst to business success as well as being able to curate outstanding investment opportunities – opportunities that it’s members would not normally be able to access – the solution was to create a Club wherein the collective financial strength could open those doors.
With over 13,000 members worldwide and excellent member reviews abound, and with three IPOs under their belit already, it is safe to say that they have and continue to deliver on that impressive vision.
From personal experience, I have been investing with Angel Business Club for 10 months now and my portfolio valuation has risen by nearly 60%. I have equity stakes in a diverse and exciting portfolio including.
- A company that literally finds lost gold and shares in the profits. A major find appears very close on the horizon too
- An Innovative Fire Protection tech company
- An exciting tech and content company
- A Global Ambulance company
- An award winning, sugar free, tonic company. Already on UK supermarket shelves
- An Environmental Solutions company
As you can see they are all very interesting in their own right, fully diverse, and ethically positive companies.
How To Get Started Investing In Private Equity And Start Ups
The Angel Business Club works on a monthly membership model, with three options to choose from.
- Standard – £85 per month
- Pro – £456 per month
- Premium – £913 per month
All membership levels come with the same access and benefits. The only difference is the amount equity allocations that are made each month.
Each month you receive
- Allocation of the majority of your membership fee into equity holdings in the companies currently available
- Multiple webinars each month regarding the companies and investments being made – in five different languages
- Special investment opportunities when they rise
- Occasional bonus and free share allocations
It’s all hands-off and very passive. I get regular updates on my email and in the first week of each month I get advised of my new share entitlements.
To get started with the Angel Business Club could not be easier really.
Firstly, you would need to open account here
The registration is straight forward enough. Once done you’ll then need to upload some identification documents, such as a passport, to verify your identity.
Next, you’ll need to take a short investor questionnaire to ensure that you understand the type of investment, the risks associated and what classification of investor that you are.
The last step in the process is to decide on your membership level.
Things to Consider When Investing In Private Equity And Start Ups
Angel Business Club is one of the easiest and most passive income models that I have in my portfolio but there are a couple of things you really do need to consider before getting involved.
This is definitely a long-term investment, you have to be prepared to wait several years to have the chance of seeing a return.
You also, although unlikely, have to accept that you may never see a return. That said, with 3 IPOs in the last few years, the track record is good.
You can not withdraw your money when you feel like it. Once invested, through membership fees, and share entitlements allocated, it is locked down until the company is sold or goes through an IPO, whereby investors are paid out their returns.
You do not get to choose the companies or the equity split in your portfolio. This is all done by the team at Angel Business Club – I don’t see a reason why you would want to do it when they are the experts anyway.
How Much Does It Cost To Get Started Investing?
For an investment from as low as £85 a month to receive monthly equity stakes in growing, interesting and ethically sound companies it really is an accessible and affordable passive investment vehicle for many.
Just remember to invest at the level that suits you financial circumstances with money that is spare cashflow and that you won’t need to access again in a hurry.
Once decided, then just let your share entitlements grow and your diversified portfolio broaden over the months and years ahead. Aside from that, it’s always worth checking out the regular insights, interviews, webinars and opportunities shard by the club via email.
The Angel Business Club funds itself through a £10 deduction from the membership fee. That, however, is counter-weighted by the fact that, through ABC’s purchasing power, they receive deep discounts on a companies valuation, which, in turn, means members still receive the full value of their membership fee in share entitlements.
It is also worth noting that ABC never receives any form of performance-based commission on the amount of investment collected.
