Angel InvestorsMicroVentures is like an investment bank for startups. We conduct due diligence on startups and then if approved we help them raise capital from angel investors. Our process of raising capital is similar to crowdfunding. We give angel investors the ability invest small amount of capital to crowd fund a startup raising capital. The concept is similar to peer to peer lending but instead of debt you get equity for your investment.
