We are select group of successful entrepreneurs, business people and investors.

Unlike like most Angels and Venture Capitalists, we do not only invest in technology platforms, but also in non-tech businesses such as B2B services, outsource providers, and retail.

Above all, we invest in entrepreneurial teams that have demonstrable track records and/or have a product with initial traction.

We adhere to the philosophy that we cannot predict what the market will be for any idea – – which is why we require evidence of market acceptance and traction prior to making any investment.

On the Internet, the customer is always right, and constant iteration and lean-startup methodologies rule us and should rule you. Our best ideas come from our customers. Off the Internet, the same model applies, albeit the process is slower.

We are happy to discuss any investment opportunity that meets the above criteria.

Simply e-mail us an executive summary of less than 12 sentences (or slides) including:

- What service you provide.
- What problem you are solving.
- How this product is first to market in its category or niche (or preferrably, how is it serving    new category or niche.)
- Information about each member of your team (or LinkedIn profile).
- How much money you are hoping to raise and at what valuation, and
- What evidence of market traction do you currently possess.

We look forward to hearing from you! Funding@Avonwood.com
