Strong Angel ‧ Strong Country
One of the factors that promote the prosperity of the country is the ability of scientific and technological innovation. Innovation can improve the quality of life of the people, drive economic growth, and enhance national productivity. In 2015, the state advocated mass entrepreneurship and innovation, referred to as “double creation”. Double creation is indispensable for capital investment. The angel investors who participated in the earliest investment became the igniter of promoting mass innovation and carrying a part of the power to promote the prosperity of the country. This has also become the original intention and mission of establishing the Angel Investment Foundation.
Distructive innovate of traditional venture capital logic
In the past, we studied the pain points of angel investment, including the long investment cycle, large differences in project valuation, high risks due to many uncertain factors, and the lack of any risk hedging tools, which led to the lack of angel investors in the market.
We are committed to finding a solution, and refuse to establish a platform for purely exchanging information between projects and investors. We also resist random forwarding of information and any investor referrals for projects without understanding the financing projects and conducting due diligence. We dare to overturn the logic of traditional venture capital, take the initiative to reorganize the entire financing plan for innovation and entrepreneurship projects, combine government grants and low-interest financing loans, and introduce corporate investors with industry resources to participate in the commercialization of innovation and technology research results to achieve profitability.
Create multi-party cooperation and win-win
The angel investment foundation is positioned as the designer of the five key elements of innovation and entrepreneurship projects, including the government, enterprises, investors, scientific research projects, and entrepreneurial teams, and launches different measures to encourage them to meet their needs and resources. All parties cooperate to create more successful cases of angel investment, thereby promoting more investors to participate in innovation and venture capital.
We hope that while promoting the development of innovation and technology for the country, we will commercialize scientific research results, realize ideals for entrepreneurs, innovate, upgrade and transform enterprises, create reliable, sustainable and stable profits for investors, and achieve win-win opportunities for all parties.
