Note from Clifford Tong
I am looking for late seed-stage companies with some market traction. Experience as an angel investor for 20 years has shown me that there is no real substitute when it comes down to finding out whether the product will sell. This also helps significantly reduce or eliminate development risk.
I am a value investor looking for companies with reasonable valuations who I believe can scale up quickly to Series A, thereby creating value for investors fairly early.
With a management consultant background, I am also looking for management teams who can create a culture and infrastructure that will enable them to build a great company. I don't believe in writing checks and hoping for the best. I make myself available, formally or informally, to entrepreneurs to help them be successful.
Dealflow
I am an active member of several angel groups, and network extensively with my colleagues in many others. I am a frequent speaker on investor panels and a volunteer mentor/advisor to a number of incubator/accelerators. I look at dozens of deals a month, most of which have an interesting story to tell but upon deeper review cannot live up to the billing. I will only choose the very best for my syndicate.
I plan to syndicate all my future deals that meet the investment criteria as outlined above.
