Angel Investor + Disability = ?
For my research project, I have decided to connect the side profession of an angel investor and disability. These two are not as frequently linked as other professions, such as doctors. However, this fact makes this connection more intriguing for myself. Since there are little research material on this specific relationship, I would have to research on the two different areas and link them myself. It would be nice if my blog post and research project become help for those like me in the future.
With these two I would like to talk about the investment of the angel and how it might help those with disabilities in entrepreneurship. It is true that there are different investment companies that are trying to help companies grow with their help. However, they have limitations because of their size and want for efficiency. the difference between investment companies and angel investors is that angel investing is an investment made with private funds. The angel invests his or her personal finance over a company’s. Although it would take much more effort and time to find the right companies to invest on, it is possible because it is a personal choice.
I would also like to emphasize the point of how I will be helping the disabled. Different professions are helping the disabled in different ways. For example, doctors may create a separate program for just the disabled to help them receive the right treatment. However, angel investors will help the disabled, but in just the same ways that they help the ‘abled’. What angels look for is a win win situation. Although angels are ‘helping’ the business owners, they are also looking for a share back. With this share, angels are growing their finances, just like all other investors. Angels are not helping for charity, meaning they are not simply and altruistically gifting their finance. They are trying to help for their own benefits.
