UK Startups are Prey for Rip Off Artists Disguised as Angel Groups & Financiers, says Doug Richard
“Just to be clear . . . start-ups should not be charged to pitch their businesses to angel investors. . . . Corporate financiers do not make their money on [upfront] fees but by taking a percentage of the money raised.”
