₦airaland Forum

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

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.

The idea of searching for 'angel investors' is cool but why not consider 'ghost investors' as well or even give it a thought?

By this I mean there are individuals here who might be willing to invest in your idea if you can assure them of good ROI.

Regards!

Ghost investor and Angel investor, aren't they one and same? Those individuals, how can I meet one? It is what I am saying. You only hear about them but never get to meet them one on one.

Alright, appreciated.

If your idea is IT or tech related or similar you can visit CCHub @ Yaba. Nice place to network too.

I know what you going through, i also experienced this when I was into manufacturing.

It takes a lot of efforts and persistence.

Also google Private equity firms in Lagos/ Nigeria or Venture capital firms.

Wish you luck.
