A disciplined approach to business building.
Our approach is designed to bring structure and accountability to the process of connecting entrepreneurs with potential investors. We believe that credible opportunities deserve thoughtful consideration, clear communication and a realistic understanding of both potential and risk.
Opportunity identification
We seek to facilitate connections around businesses with a clear purpose, a defined market need and a credible plan for growth.
Relevant considerations may include:
- The problem the business seeks to solve.
- Its product or service and target market.
- The business model and competitive environment.
- The experience and execution capabilities of its leadership.
- Evidence of customer demand, traction or commercial progress.
- The proposed use of capital and the milestones it is intended to support.
Opportunity assessment
A structured assessment helps participants understand the business and the questions that require further investigation.
Depending on the opportunity, the review may consider:
- Corporate registration, ownership and capitalisation.
- Market opportunity and competitive position.
- Revenue model, financial information and commercial performance.
- Management capability and governance arrangements.
- Proposed funding requirements and use of proceeds.
- Legal obligations, material risks and relevant conflicts of interest.
- Proposed investment structure, rights and conditions.
The scope of assessment may vary according to the nature, stage and complexity of each business. Inclusion in a review process does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of investment.
Investor independence
Every investment decision remains independent.
Aaron & Hur Angel Network facilitates appropriate relationships between entrepreneurs and potential investors within its approved operating framework.
Each investor is responsible for conducting or commissioning their own due diligence, evaluating the relevant risks and deciding independently whether to proceed with an investment. Investors should obtain independent legal, financial, tax and other professional advice where appropriate.
No introduction, meeting, review or communication from the network should be interpreted as a guarantee of an investment outcome.
Entrepreneur engagement
Preparing businesses for meaningful conversations.
Entrepreneurs seeking to engage with the network should be prepared to explain their business clearly, substantiate material claims and provide relevant information when requested through the appropriate process.
We value founders who demonstrate:
- A clear understanding of the customer and market.
- A credible business model and growth strategy.
- Realistic financial assumptions.
- Accountability and openness to scrutiny.
- A clear explanation of the capital required and its intended use.
- An understanding of business risks and execution challenges.
Submitting information does not guarantee acceptance, investor introductions or funding.
From introduction to independent decision
Clear responsibilities at every stage.
-
Initial enquiry
Relevant information is submitted through the appropriate contact channel.
-
Preliminary review
The network considers whether the enquiry is relevant to its framework and current capacity.
-
Information and assessment
Additional information may be requested where appropriate.
-
Potential introduction
Where suitable, a connection may be facilitated between an entrepreneur and a prospective investor.
-
Independent due diligence
The prospective investor evaluates the opportunity and conducts any further investigations they consider necessary.
-
Independent decision
Any investment decision and subsequent transaction are made by the relevant parties under the applicable terms and arrangements.
Not every enquiry will proceed through every stage. Timelines, decisions and outcomes depend on the circumstances of each opportunity and the participants involved.
Long-term value creation
We believe the quality of an investment ecosystem is measured not only by the capital it connects, but also by the discipline, integrity and productive relationships it encourages.
Our long-term ambition is to support an environment where entrepreneurs can pursue sustainable growth and participants can engage with clarity, responsibility and shared purpose.
