Find a Founder Who Does This, and You’ll Win Every Time

No matter what you invest in, completing your due diligence and researching a company is critical. You need to know the company thoroughly before one cent of your hard-earned money is invested.

At Money Morning, we do extremely rigorous research for you. We only show you the kind of opportunities that will hand you the biggest profits.

And that's exactly what I want to talk to you about today.

You see, investing in startups allows you to make returns 10, 100, even 1,000 times greater than what's possible on the stock market.

And despite what most people believe, you don't need millions to get started. In fact, you don't even need experience as an angel investor.

Finding the best startup – the kind that can turn a small stake into thousands, even millions of dollars – doesn't come down to some mathematical formula or a gut feeling.

It's all about who's going to be in charge.

Angel investors have a saying about choosing winners: "Invest in founders, not in startups."

Good ideas are everywhere. Great founders, however, are rare. A great founder has the ability to transform those ideas into a product that customers are willing and eager to pay for.

The founders are the only ones with the power to execute their unique vision. That makes them responsible for absolutely everything, from money management to product development to branding and more.

Of course, the business model needs to make sense, too. But if the team isn't right, the business won't make it.

That's why it's critical that you be able to identify a star founder when you see one…

In fact, studies show that 23% of failed startups cite a bad team dynamic as their reason for collapse. It's like building a house on a sinkhole – eventually, it's going to cave in.

So today, I've compiled the three traits that make a star founder. Then I'll show how you can get in on the ground floor of an amazing opportunity with one of the best founders in the business… Full Story

Pitch meetings can be exciting affairs.

The passionate founders, the suspense of the hot seat, the back-and-forth volleys of questions and answers, the very real potential of changing people's lives forever…

It's no surprise that the TV show Shark Tank is so popular.

But what you don't see on television is what happens behind the scenes: the homework, or due diligence, angel investors do to ensure startups and their founders are legit.

Some angels spend weeks or months digging into a startup's nooks and crannies, from balance sheets to background checks. Others rely on gut instinct above all else.

It can be an overwhelming amount of information, but today I'll boil it down to four key steps successful angel investors follow before investing even a penny.

How to Start Investing in Startup Businesses Today

Investing in startup businesses is a way to drive your portfolio to generational wealth.

That's because startup investors get in on the ground floor, long before retail investors.

The first chance retail investors get to invest in a startup is at the initial public offering (IPO) stage, when the company becomes publicly available on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq.

Private investors, on the other hand, can invest in companies long before that happens.

Now Is the Perfect Time to Make Your First Angel Investment

There's a reason people typically picture angel investors as Silicon Valley billionaires in hoodies and jeans, handing out $100,000 checks like it's no big deal.

It's because this world used to be reserved for the super rich and well connected. You couldn't even try to invest in startups unless you were an accredited investor – in other words, someone with a net worth well over $1 million.

Today, the landscape of angel investing has transformed into something that's a lot closer to the American Dream. Now, anyone at all who wants to strike Silicon Valley gold can do just that as an angel investor.

It's an exciting new world of opportunity out there. And it's all thanks to one big legislative change that has opened up a lot of potential for "regular" investors… Full Story

The Ultimate Guide to Pre-IPO Investing

Significant wealth can be generated by investing in companies before investment is open to the public.

Here, in the ultimate guide to pre-IPO investing, we’re going to show you how.

Many investors think of the initial public offering (IPO) as the first time retail investors get a crack at stocks.

The IPO is the first time retail investors have a chance to buy a stock trading on a major exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq.

But stocks can be traded privately before they see the lights of the big board.
