Angel Customers – A New Breed of Investors?
Angel Customer – An individual customer or a client of a product or a service who invests his or her own money into the startup providing those services.
Sounds crazy? It shouldn’t.
Just think about it. How good would you think a product or service must be if one or more customers using it is willing to invest his/her money into the company behind it.
Darn good! I personally would atleast think so.
Such an act is definitely an excellent form of attestation to the product/service and would stand as a great testimony beyond doubt.
Still think I’m crazy?
