Incredible and Trusted Angel Network Platform!
I have been with IIN from last 2 years and this is probably the only fundraising platform which gave us result from day 1. During COVID we were able to get some great angels for my startup, would highly recommend IIN for rasing investments which has some incredible angel network around the world! Great work!
Successful fundraise
We had a very successful fundraise through the AIN. We expected it to take a while due to COVID impacting investor confidence but the process worked well and we achieved our goal.
Bait and switch
Bait and switch - not until you've got all form fields filled out and are ready to submit does it mention you'll have to pay. At that point a lot of startups will fall into the sunk cost fallacy and pony up the dough.
A real platform isn't looking to make money off startups looking for investment. A real platform is looking to match investors with entrepreneurs.
This is a glorified dating website where suckers pay to send messages and get clicks.

I've asked for a refund for 4-5 weeks
I've asked for a refund for 4-5 weeks and they just go in circles. I first started getting suspicious when I was getting Linkedin messages from "Angels" on the site soliciting me for business. Most of the contacts that message me were outside the USA or solicitors offering consulting and once they messaged me I wouldn't hear back from them again. I paid for the most expensive package thinking that would help but still had to buy nudges (which doesn't work either)
I've now had to file a claim with my bank because every time I ask for a refund they say "its still early give it time give it time". As a early stage startup I DO NOT WANT TO WASTE THE LITTLE MONEY I HAVE ON SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T WORK! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SITE!

We didn't receive any ligitame interest
We didn't receive any interest that seemed to come from a ligitemate investor. When asking for our refund as part of the refund policy, the customer service team dragged the issue for month, made us explain every single interaction we've had on the platform and at the end said we don't quality. Waste of time and money.

Bloomcatch - Successful Seed Fundraise
I recently decided to raise funds for my startup, Bloomcatch. We're a small startup based out of Washington D.C. and we help people connect with nature through our plant ID app.
I tried many, many different ways before stumbled across Angel Investment Network. I tried asking friends and family for direct connections to investors. I tried reaching out to others with direct connections to angel investors. I learned that this process was hard. After not hearing from many of my solicitations, I decided to use a couple of different platforms.
I was fortunate to have my entire package ready: financials, pitch deck, video so for me it was simply a matter of uploading the information. Angel Investment Network made that process really easy. After I completed the upload which only took about an hour My Pitch was Live.
And then I waited...and waited...and waited. After nothing happening for about a week I decided to start nudging people. AIN lets you nudge people whose interest and geographic preference aligns with your own. So I nudged...and nudged...and nudged.
Nothing happened. I emailed Mike who encouraged me to keep trying and be persistent and make refinements to my package to improve it. So, I did all that and then...something happened. Investors started becoming interested in my pitch. I was talking to real people who were interested in my little startup. So I talked and learned and continued to promote my company. I did this over and over and over until I completed my first deal.
It was amazing and exhilarating and nerve-wracking and stressful. But I'm done now and I can go back to work on building my company. I wrote this to illustrate that I am grateful to Angel Investment Network for giving my company the platform to connect to real people who believe in what I'm trying to do in this world and to also encourage entrepreneurs on this journey to try their best, be patient, and then work hard to make something happen.
Extremely grateful,
Ray Magee
President

Angel Round - Great team and amazing work
I had the pleasure of working with Xav and the team to help support our 2nd Angel Round for Dropless. Since the word go Xav was very supportive and helped get the right message across to a strong set of Angels he know we would resonate with. Fast forward 8 weeks and we had closed the round (and in the middle of the corona pandemic). The network of Angels I had discussions with are all very savvy and many of them very experienced - no time wasting what so ever. Would highly recommend working with Angel Investment Network.
Significantly increase your chances of successful funding
We are a fundraising marketing communications company, having helped over 80 companies to run joint marketing/pr & fundraising campaigns. We use Angel Investment Network on every campaign, and it almost always proves to be an excellent source of investment leads. I can safely say 30% of our clients would never have funded if it wasn't for AIN.
It's a large and active community of investors, which you'll struggle to find the equal of anywhere else. Having such a large pool increases the likelihood of finding someone that's both liquid and interested in the idea. AIN significantly increases your chances of success - we can't live without it.
AIN funded business receives royal accolade
I’ve worked with Mike and his team at the angel investment network since 2010, having raised funds successfully for my last two ventures. The first company was capitalised successfully during the GFC, and the second was voted entrepreneur of the year by the British royals - selected from 25,000 companies worldwide. Ten years later I look forward to working with AIN again, on my next project.
Quick and straightforward
Quick and straightforward. Minimum time investment required from investee. Serious investors in network.
Great experience from Mike
Great experience from Mike, Scott and the entire team!
Have connected with hundreds of great investors

Angel Investment Network is delivering…
Angel Investment Network is delivering exactly what they advertise. And the service is outstanding. Great communication too and I'm stunned at how fast I'm getting qualified investors messaging me. They know what makes a pitch work and investors interested. So glad I chose the executive package - well worth the money!

We are super impressed with the AIN…
We are super impressed with the AIN team, especially Ed and his team. As a new tech start up, raising capital is always the main focus to kick start the project. Without Ed and his team, we wouldn't have secured our funding, and close the round successfully. We cannot recommend AIN enough to businesses looking for investment.

AIN are very professional and friendly. They helped raise £156k for Storelectric Ltd from 3 investors.
I have no hesitation in recommending AIN as a platform for other companies looking to raise money from serious investors.

A successful SEIS raise with AIN
We worked with AIN to successfully complete a SEIS funding round. Working with Sam throughout the process, our experience was nothing but positive.
Sam proved to be extremely knowledgable and provided excellent support throughout the raise; always on hand to answer any queries and provide useful guidance. He took the time to meet the founders beforehand to get a robust understanding of the business, so that he could identify the best possible partners.
We had a number of very positive meetings which resulted in investment. I’m very happy to recommend AIN as we had a great experience with them.

Thank you!
I big thank you, Sam! You did not only find us an investor with money but a passion for what we do and a hands-on approach that will help us along the way.
