The allure of startup investment is undeniable – the chance to be a part of something groundbreaking, to nurture innovation, and to potentially reap substantial financial rewards. However, for every success story, countless tales of caution highlight the inherent risks associated with this high-stakes game.
The Due Diligence Dilemma While many angel investment/ crowd-funding platforms tout their rigorous due diligence processes, concerns linger about the consistency and effectiveness of these measures. Given that these platforms invest at a very early stage, investing in Enterprise Tech, and FinTech businesses at this stage is highly risky without the time-consuming and resource-intensive nature of thorough due diligence, it's crucial to understand whether these platforms are adequately screening potential investments to minimize the risk of fraud or failure.
Platform Self-Investment: A Conflict of Interest? A couple of angel investment/ crowd-funding platform raising money for itself using its platform raises eyebrows.

I invite you to share your thoughts and experiences on angel investing/ crowd-funding platforms. What are some of the challenges and opportunities you have encountered? What advice would you give to others considering angel investing/ crowd-funding platforms?
