You’ve designed and invented a brilliant, industry-changing idea, an exceptional opportunity. You have a plan in place and even a prototype. However, one major component is missing in order to achieve great success, and that is start-up capital. Who do you turn to ? Where do you go? Who would be willing to invest in such a risky enterprise? For a prayer like this, you need an Angel.
