Overview

Dancing with Angels is a customized, face-to-face consulting service for entrepreneurs seeking to reach angel investors. Our goal is to make a more efficient market for high growth entrepreneurs in search of seed stage funding from non-institutional sources. We will help you discover what the right source of funding is for your company, and what steps you need to take to improve your chances. The service is provided by experienced angels who know how to communicate with emerging entrepreneurs. It includes three components for one fixed fee.

Services

Each engagement includes three components:

1. Guidance describing the format and contents of a proper business overview and financing proposal will be provided to the entrepreneur. Upon submitting these documents, they will then be personally reviewed by an experienced angel prior to the one-on-one meeting between entrepreneur and angel.
2. Up to two founders will have the opportunity to discuss their business proposal, funding requirements, and/or strategies for receiving funding during a one hour face-to-face meeting in the greater Washington DC area. The experienced angel will have read the provided material and will engage with entrepreneur during the structured meeting (generally 1/3 presentation, 1/3 Q&A and 1/3 feedback).
3. After this meeting, the angel will be available for a follow-up 15 minute phone conversation at a mutually agreed upon time. This will provide the entrepreneur with some time absorb the initial comments, implement suggestions, and get additional feedback.
