I don't know if this is the right section to post this but then I hope the message is well passed acrossed.

I have heard of and read about angel investors but the problem is how do I locate anyone. I have a project which is already complete but maintenance and technical support requires money.
There was this business forum I attended that was organized by Daystar in Oregun, Lagos. Chude Jideonwo was part of the speakers. He answered a question I wanted to ask but someone else asked it. He said, "To get money off an idea, you have to use money to buy money". This is true if you ask me.

Now, is it that these angel investors are only whites? If we have them in Nigeria, how do I meet them?

Someone once told me that Ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo is a man who listens if you go through the right source/person. I created a thread asking questions on how I can meet with him, Nairalanders laughed. No offense taken, I will continue searching.

Please, who are the angel investors we have in Nigeria? How can I meet with one? If I can't meet one on one, how can I send a proposal to one?

I need answers and directions please. Many thanks to everyone that will help with an answer.

To get angel investors to invest in your business requires some intense work. you have to search for them, know their portfolio and how to get through to them

If you're a techpreneur, I will advice you to go for tech events and network. Most tech events in the country have pitch sessions where start ups pitch their ideas to the public. You just might be lucky if an investor is in the audience. I know the office of innovation and entrepreneurship host events like that.

Also, you can go to a tech hub like Idea hub or Cc-hub with your idea. They just may render help by connecting you to investors.

Finally, you can bomb their emails with your pitch deck. If your idea is good and they see the potential they will contact you. I know that tolet.com.ng raised about 20k dollars through LinkedIn with this method.

Last advice, Google is your friend. I know if you query Google for angel investors in Nigeria, you would get results. I know this because I ran a search like that some months back.

Can I get a brief introduction about the project @berrypie?
