| Angel Investment Network is 20 years old this month! We are hugely proud to have been an integral part of the startup ecosystem for two decades, initially in the UK but then expanding across the globe. We’ve helped facilitate funding for some truly game changing businesses and we now have 40 networks spanning across 90 countries.
In this month’s newsletter we take a look back at our journey and the best advice we have for startups in finding the funding they need to become the great businesses of tomorrow.
One of the biggest lessons learnt from this journey is that one of the biggest causes of failure for startups is poor cashflow management. We hear from Peter Denton from Lothbury Business Management on how a robust financial model is a crucial factor in winning over potential investors and avoiding a cash crunch.
