Welcome to who are these investors? I'm the startup coach. Founder of Toronto starts one of the largest startup communities in Canada. And with me today is Suvid Ajmera of angel one network. Welcome. Thank you, Craig.  Suvid Ajmera of Angel One Investor Network: Good to be  The Startup Coach: here. What is the stage you invest in the average size of  Suvid Ajmera of Angel One Investor Network: investments across equation angels. We've invested in seed and pre-seed startups in 2021, we invested about the average size, which we saw was $300,000 to about $375,000. The maximum we did in 2021 was about 1.3 million. For in a single round, we usually ask for about $250,000 to be left and around. If you're looking at joining other organizations who are looking to raise. Angel  The Startup Coach: one network seems to be fairly active. How many investments has the network made over  Suvid Ajmera of Angel One Investor Network: the years? We started off in 2011 and Angel one has made her close to 170 Investments over the years, we've invested over $35 million across our members. Currently we're starting at about 40 members at angel One and over close to 125 angel investors across Equation Angels.  The Startup Coach: Do you have a preferred exit timeline?  Suvid Ajmera of Angel One Investor Network: The preferred exit timeline would be earlier the better, but some business owners are here today and they literally go on tomorrow, but five to seven years is what we look at sometimes even 10. All companies are coming to us. We would usually look at about 18 to 24 months if you're able to get a liquidity opportunity. But again, when we look at seed and pre-seed investments, it's not possible to get an 1824 months exit timeline in place.  The Startup Coach: What are some of the things that angel one network does to support companies? Suvid Ajmera of Angel One Investor Network: So education, mentorship and connecting with industry experts, engine one, and our angel group invests in companies from two primary reasons. One is the financial aspect and the other is that providing some kind of support to the companies, right? Successful business, people who want to be involved with the startup communities or to startup companies. They look for making sure that the startup or the. Company is ready to learn and grow with the investor itself. Some of the angels are retired themselves, so they have a lot of knowledge, wisdom, and experience that they like to share and make sure guidance help the companies grow overall as a founder finding right, the right angel with the right experience is what it's all about. It's not always about the money.  The Startup Coach: It's April one network looking  Suvid Ajmera of Angel One Investor Network: for investments. Yes, we are.

Welcome to who are these investors? I am the startup coach. Founder of Toronto starts one of the largest startup communities in Canada. And with me today is Matthew. He of Brightspark ventures. Welcome Matt. Matthew He of Brightspark Ventures: Thanks for having me, Craig pleasure to be here.  The Startup Coach: It's great to have you. Can you start off by telling us about Brightspark ventures?  Matthew He of Brightspark Ventures: We were founded in 1999. We like to say we are one of Canada's oldest VCs. If not the oldest, we manage $400 million, uh, assets under management. We variable team 12 people in total five investors. We operate all across coast to coast. We invested pretty much in every region of. And we focus on seed and series a investments for us as a VC firm. What we like to say is we really have innovation at heart. We practice what we preach. And the 23 years that we've been running, we've done everything from being an early VC fund model to running incubators and founding companies, yourselves that we've all sold successfully. And in the last 10 years, what we've really done is democratize access to VC assets. In addition to running our traditional fund model on the democratized access to VC assets is we are offering high net worth investors. Angel investors, the opportunity to invest alongside us in venture class deals. So we would source an opportunity. We would structure a SPV around that opportunity, a deal by deal basis and open it up to our network of 5,000 plus individual investors to say, Hey, we're investing in this great venture backable company and you can read them and we'll check in this. And it allows you to gain exposure to an asset class that was previously closed off to a lot of people who weren't LPs or in other institutional funds. The Startup Coach: What do you look for when investing through an SPV? Matthew He of Brightspark Ventures: When we first started the model, we really approached it as if you would, with a traditional fund, just a deal that we would do as a partnership, except we would open up the capital to be raised for individual investors on that deal alone. Today, that model has evolved a little bit where we also have a traditional institutional fund. We would invest out of that fund as a lead check and then allocate an additional 25 to 33% on top of that for our individual investors and an SPV.  The Startup Coach: As a VC, what is the stage you invest and the average size of investment?  Matthew He of Brightspark Ventures: So we focus on seed and. We really like to say our sweet spot is the pre series a when a company has some traction, wants to get that money to get to that full large series a and grow even quicker. And that means that for every first checks are averaged around 2.5 to 3.5 million.
