Hi I tried to find the list of angel investors in Malaysia but couldn't find. I tried googling but still got nothing.

It would be great if you guys could provide some angel investors contacts/websites here thank you

what is angel investor means? mind to elaborate more?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_investor

This one ah??

First of all, angel investors doesn’t come in a list, even in US, there’s no such list, it’s your own effort to find one, off the internet and talk your way to an agreement, but it’s rare anyone will just provide you the capital, without management authority.

Second, I am interested to invest in any ventures, but I am no Angel Investor, more to VC.You could talk to me if you are interested.

ya most of the time angel investors dont make themselves known, so I am thinking if there is an official list? (the licensed or prominent ones)

You just want the list or are you looking for angel investors? For Malaysia, check up Cradle Fund as I know they are doing a roadshow now with a group of angel investors. Some of the good angel investors are actually based in Singapore, like Crystal Horse who invested in propwall, ibilik and another tuition site.

Are you willing to let go 49% of your company stake?

Its not about letting go 49% of the stake, but rather exchanging the 49% for proper guidance and support from those who have failed multiple times before succeeding.

Raising funds is very important since startups usually don't breakeven in 1-2 years. And time to market is crucial, especially when the barriers to entry are so low that copycats are everywhere.

anybody able to give more ideas?

Ur parents maybe?haha...

I didn't see any of my fellow investors take 49% of a company via an investment unless it is a corporate turnaround and/or an acquisition deal. From where did you get such a figure from?

That's a good observation, one which I noticed many whom are seeking investments in Malaysia do not understand (ie. leveraging on other's wisdom and connections)

What % interest do angel investors normally aim?

Hows valuation done?

Similar to this

Valuation of StartUP

It varies (typically) based on the amount of help (not just money) given to the startup.

Typical percentages ranges from 3 - 20%

Valuation is done differently by different investors. Some adopt market size as a primary gauge, others adopt extrapolation of billable invoices within 12 months, and so on and so forth. There is no fixed formula.

Reference to this post, which entrepreneur in his/her right mind would reject a FIXED RATE, FIXED TERM bank loan in favour of an EQUITY investor?

Fixed rate is good provided you can provide COLLATERALS.

That wasn't my impression with the post, I bold-ed the words you written in the other post which clearly indicates that he REJECTS the use of bank loans.

In any case, if this is truly a good product, why isn't the inventor willing to take up personal lines of credit and/or mortgage his home and/or dip into his own savings? This is one clear sign to investors that this person has no sincerity or conviction in his own product. Personally I would never invest in such a person.

Think you are jumping to many conclusions too fast.

They have already spent substantially on their R & D on their invention last two yaers without any income.

So financially pretty dried up.
So angel investments for marketing costs is required.

erm, Dragon's Den?

Just an example

I am too, running a business, whereby my 2 friends are my angel investors.

Each of them contribute rm50k for 20% stakes each, making me lost 40% in total, they initially commanded more, but I manage to get the deal.

You use a dramatized show as a gauge for professional information?

Your statement actually proves that in saying you gave an individual 20% stake per angel to be correct accordingly to my previous message; as reference in my reply yesterday angels typically take anywhere from 3 - 20% individually.

So to say that you gave 2 separate angel investors 40%, or as another example 3 separate angels 60%, and conflate it to the claim that a typical angel take 49% is rather disingenuous.

If making conclusions based on the exact words you say are "jumping to conclusions", I don't know what quantifiable facts can any investor then use factually as a gauge in your case.

If this is not jumping to conclusion, I don't know what is.





An investor can quantify by looking at the technology and the industry coupled with the biz blueprint.

You, however have jumped too fast to judgement even before you have seen anything.

A company is led by its people, not its technology. Its success does not lie in paper plans nor in intellectual property.

You are free to your opinions on that statement. I am free to mine as a person that puts my money where my mouth is.

Are all companies led by scientists?

Here we are discussin Angel/Cradle investments and a startup.

It seems you have meandered into success already!
If the company is already successful , we would NOT be discussing Angel/Cradle investors?
Which Angel investor would invest in a startup without product?

I AM free to my opinion. My opinion is that you have jumping to stumping judgemental conclusions without even knowing.

We are behind keyboards....who gives a Flying Geez whither you put your money?

Let me express my opinion. Your comment will be better off if you take down your avatar. No offence.....

You are free to yer opinion

I express my opinion because he allows me to in the first place. It was my genuine opinion anyway.

We should thank him for allowing us........

to express our opinions.

angel investor is sleeping partner?

something like that

Dramatised or not, the cash given is real, and professionals do seek them for investments. And are your investors are as rich and successful as the dragons?

And no.you.didn't mentioned the word individually. well even typically an individual investor "only" acquire 20% stakes, doesnt moot my comments for saying he could lost 49% of his own company stakes, who said he is going to find just one investor anyway?

And since when I said A typical investor will usually take 49% INDIVIDUALY??

Looks like you are not only good at putting your own money in where your mouth is, but other people words into your own mouth too.
