Where Your Money Falls on the Startup Timeline
Click to Watch
Dear Startup Investor,

Neil Patel here - let's have a quick chat about the importance of good timing.

Being an angel investor is all about getting in early.

Startup funding isn't a linear process; it's milestone-based. That means a company can jump in value, or fall behind, seemingly overnight.

The key to getting the maximum payout on our investments is to get in on deals before they've gained too much traction. A crowded playing field is a profit-killer.

There are multiple funding stages at which we can invest... but a good rule of thumb is, "the earlier, the better."

I know what you're thinking.

Enough about when to start. How about telling me when I'll get paid!

It's a great question. Angel investments are illiquid - in other words, once you put money in, you can't just take it back. You're in it for the long haul (click here for more on that).

But just how long is it? And with all the different stages of funding, how do you know when to expect an exit?

It's a lot to keep track of - but it doesn't need to be confusing.

Click here to learn more about the startup funding timeline, and what that means for your investment.

Until next time,


Neil Patel
