----------------------------------------------------------

This Deal Flow Velocity Suite is designed for:

Experienced Startup Investors (Angels, VCs, Emerging Managers, GPs, HNWI Wealth Managers, M&A Pros, Investment Bankers, PE Fund Managers, & Finance Pros) who want to broaden access, amplify startup/investment deal flow velocity, and enhance deal flow quality.

• Those New to the Startup Investing World (Non-Accredited Investors) who want a well-defined trajectory and comprehensive foundation of tools to fast-track their entry into the investing world.

But let's first take a step back to make sure we have a few concepts down pat...

What exactly is Deal Flow?

Deal Flow or Deal Sourcing is a term used by investors to describe the rate in which business proposals and investment pitches are being received. Deal flow is the foundational life-blood of every investor. Deal flow velocity impacts the range and volume of potential deals while deal flow sources often determine the quality of investment opportunities that an investor is exposed to.

What exactly is Deal Screening?

Deal Screening is the processes of evaluating a potential investment fit with a given investor or investment fund.

We use deal screening to FILTER OUT investments that are not aligned with our investing goals/preferences.

A simple deal screen criteria might be:

Philosophical / Investment Thesis Fit (does the startup fit snuggly into the category that we are looking to invest in?)
Industry / Sector Preferred (does the startup fall outside of our industry/sector preference?)
Investment Stage (Is the startup CURRENTLY in a preferred investment stage- idea, series A, B,C, D, etc.?)
Location (are there specific areas of the country/world that we are most comfortable investing in?)
Lead Investor Quality (Sequoia vs an Inexperienced Angel Investor)
Deal Source / Quality (where did this startup introduction come from- trusted partner, cold outreach, web-based content?)

What exactly is Due Diligence?

Due Diligence is defined as an investigation of a potential investment to VERIFY critical facts. These facts can include such items as financial records, past company performance, plus anything else deemed material. It follows that due diligence can often be both a time and labor intensive process.

Integrating the first three stages of our deal flow together [Sourcing + Screening + Due Diligence], we can now visualize how a typical investment process might unfold, from initial sourcing stages all the way to an exit...

What are the best sources and methods to establish a robust/quality deal flow ecosystem?

• [bilateral] Professional & Extended Network (associates, co-investors, Linkedin connections & followers)
• [inbound] Industry Expertise Content Creation (Linkedin, website, insights, whitepapers, tools, access)
• [bilateraI] Investment Bankers / Attorneys / Entrepreneurs / Consultants / Accountants
• [inbound] Newsletters (Beehiiv, SubStack, ConvertKit)
• [bilateral] Angel Groups / Accelerators / Incubators / Startup Competitions
• [outbound] Startup Platforms (Harmonic, Gust, AngelList, MicroVentures, StartEngine, OpenVC, Republic)
• [outbound] Data Aggregators (CrunchBase, DealRoom, PitchBook)

Now that we've covered a few critical investing fundamentals, we can get more specific about today's flash sale...

Here is what the Deal Flow Velocity Suite contains:

Complete Angel & Non-Accredited Investor Starter Bundle

-> How To Become an Angel Investor Guides (PDFs)
-> The 5 Best Investing Platforms (Syndicates / Funds) for Non-Accredited Investors (Excel)
-> The 7 Best Investing Platforms (Syndicates / Funds) for Accredited Investors (Excel)
-> The 20 Best AngelList Syndicates (Accredited Investors Only) (Excel)
-> Targeting Startup Founders on AngelList

For new investors, the following definitions will help:

Angel Investors: Are typically wealthy private investors focused on financing startups in exchange for equity. Unlike a venture capital firm that uses an investment fund, angels invest their own money.

Angel Syndicate: Groups of angel investors that manage deal flow, due diligence and transactions on behalf of an angel investor network. Angel syndicates function to reduce risk and improve deal sourcing efficiency.

Accredited Investor: a person or entity that is allowed to participate in investments not registered with the SEC. These are typically high-net-worth individuals and companies with the means and experience to trade private, riskier investments.

Angel investors must meet at least one of these criteria (this is an abridged list as there are additional criteria):

• Earned income of more than $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse) in each of the last two years and reasonably expects to earn the same for the current year.

• Has a net worth over $1 million, either individually or together with a spouse (excluding the value of a primary residence).

Non-Accredited Investor: an individual who does not meet the above income or net worth requirements.

Venture capital, hedge funds, and angel investments typically require investors to be accredited.

There are, however, a myriad of online platforms (crowdfunding/co-investing) and angel groups that allow non-accredited investors to dip their toes into startup investing.

I am including a list of recommended platforms that cater to BOTH accredited and non-accredited investors in the Deal Flow Velocity Suite.

Here are the contents:

-> Due Diligence Full Assessment Workbook (Excel)

-> Due Diligence Checklist (Excel)
-> Due Diligence Startup Scorecard Workbook (Excel)
-> Due Diligence Mergers and Acquisitions Template (Excel)

Amplifying Deal Flow Through Linkedin

Linkedin has proven for me to be a treasure trove of startup deals.

Besides developing a large base of followers (108,000+), my Linkedin profile has become a self-perpetuating magnet of INBOUND deal flow.

I receive, on average, 10-20 deal pitches per day with my assistant filtering out and presenting to me the highest quality prospects.

• 85% of my Linkedin deal flow comes from Inbound mechanisms
• 15% of my Linkedin deal flow comes from outbound or direct outreach initiates.

My emphasis is on teaching everyone how to use Linkedin the same way I utilize the platform.
