Angelboard Guide for Startups: How to Raise Early-Stage Funding

AngelBoard is an early-stage crypto fundraising platform (ECR) that aims to combine the crowdsourcing nature of Kickstarter with the web3 technologies. It simplifies fundraising during the venture winter with NFT.

Carefully selected web3 projects will be able to get early-stage funding from their community with NFT drops. It works the following way: community members buy an NFT and get a share of the startup. Startups, in their turn, raise a pre-seed round with just a few clicks.

Who is ECR for?

Angelboard is for you if:

✔️ you are a web3 startup;

✔️ you have a demo of your project/MVP;

✔️ you have a 1-minute video pitch in English;

✔️ you have a tech leader on your team who knows how to deal with web3;

✔️ you have a hustler marketer who’ll deal with the content and community;

✔️ your team speaks fluent English.

Angelboard is not for you if:

✖️ you are a web2 startup;

✖️ you are only at the “idea” stage of development;

✖️ you don’t have a demo project/MVP;

✖️ you don’t have a team;

✖️ your team doesn’t speak English.

Advantages if you’re a startup’s founder:

1. Raise small checks quickly.

2. No months of pitching.

3. Get access to investors and mentors.
You’ll have an opportunity to get advice, help, and investments from professionals; join a community of like-minded startup founders, and speed up your startup development. 

3. Fundraise as often as you need.

4. No initial registration costs.

5. In-platform community.

How Safe is Fundraising on Angelboard?

On Angelboard, all operations are fixed in smart contracts to guarantee safety for all parties. NFT is represented in a form of a SAFE agreement, which means automated conversion from NFTs to company shares and transparency for everyone involved. Angelboard provides support at every stage, helping you with all operations from registration to the release of NFTs.

How Much Can You Raise?

On average, startups that secure pre-seed capital raise around $200k-500k. Usually, the standard price for an NFT varies from $1k to $10k.

Benefits of NFT Crowdfunding over Traditional Fundraising

Straightforward Pre-Seed Round

The main benefit is that ECR helps you close the pre-seed round of investments in the shortest time possible and without tons of documentation, brain-racking research, and months of pitching. 

Small Checks Secure Development

As your community is the source of your investments, the stronger and bigger it is, the quicker your startup closes the early-stage round. 

Creative Ownership

On Angelboard, each startup space is equipped with a feed, making it easy to instantly ask your community for advice or conduct polls to understand their wants and needs.
