If you want a real chance to gain the support of accredited investors, you need to understand the harsh realities of their world.

I just came across several information products online claiming that angel groups are the perfect way for entrepreneurs to raise business capital. Respectfully, I disagree. Here’s why.

While aspiring entrepreneurs can learn much from angel investors and venture capitalists about getting funded, 93 percent of small business funding comes from somewhere else. Somewhere that shares key viewpoints of high profile investors, but also takes many other issues into account. Things that are usually much more favorable to business owners.
