How can I find an angel investor for a startup that has no revenue and is still trying to validate their idea with a MVP?

[Cris Ewens]

Hard to say something definitely here. I recommend to read that article about angel investors in Houston and be aware of all peculiarities. I used to work with those experts and should say I was impressed by a high level of their competence. Simply give it a try. Good luck

It will be challenging as the majority of angel investors I know prefer to invest when there are customers and even better, when there is revenue. Angel investors do like to see that friends and family have confidence in you by having invested, and you have confidence in yourself by being willing to take money from friends and family. You will be the one who needs to tell them when you lose their investment, which is the most likely outcome for startups.

Beyond that, network and meet angel investors. Some do invest in very early stage companies. Find those angels and also the angels that show interest in your industry (e.g., C2C, B2B, B2C). Present your idea, current status, and solicit their input and help. You may impress one or two enough to provide some funding.

You are in the hardest stage for a startup, raising money before revenue. Among the few angels I know who do fund early stage companies, they are also getting more selective, not investing until a significant amount of money is soft-circled as they got burned in the past providing money and the entrepreneur resting and not raising additional funds

If you want to invest and actually make some money forget about trading. The only end you will meet with trading is losing your money. What you should do is buy gold or silver coins. These are the most reliable types of investment. Of course, you should know where to buy gold. And I can recommend this website https://www.pacificpreciousmetals.com/australian-gold-coins .
