April 28, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
The larger than life ambitions of local entrepreneurs may soon become realities with $25.2 million of investment capital made available through Funding-Texas.com and Texas’ investors.

Funding-Texas.com is a member of the FundingUniverse.com family of sites that provide a matching service for entrepreneurs and angel investors in states throughout the U.S.

Jeff Jordan, COO of FundingUniverse.com, explained $25.2 million represents the amount Texas investors are willing to supply. The $25.2 million is a combination of the investment capital available from all Texas investors registered on the site.

“There are many difficulties that come with the search for funding,” Jordan said. “To make the process easier, we are continually recruiting angel investors.”

Jordan explained $25.2 million could fund many business ideas, but investment capital is not easily obtained. He explained a well-written executive summary and business plan are what investors want. However, investors do not solely consider business plans. They also look for specific character traits in entrepreneurs. Investors seek a trustworthy, dedicated, hardworking and passionate person. Angel investors invest in entrepreneurs, not just business plans.

“Investors are looking for a rock-solid team.” Jordan stated. “Investors invest in a business plan because they see potential for success.”

At Funding-Texas.com investors can search through business plans and decide whether they want to anonymously contact an entrepreneur or put a business plan on a watch list.

“Our primary goal at Funding-Texas.com is to connect angel investors and entrepreneurs,” Jordan said. “We do not receive any compensation when a business plan is funded. Our goal is simply to provide a way for investors and entrepreneurs to link up.”
