"Great service"

Great service, excellent customer experience.

"Investors for films was hard before AIN."

Getting investors/funding for films is the hardest part, especially during the development phase, but AIN has proved to be a viable source, helping us secure a handful of investors from the start, and propelling our film into production

"DO NOT USE THEIR WEBSITE"

DO NOT USE THEIR WEBSITE! Everything they do is extremely scammy. When my pitch didn’t receive any interest I requested a refund as I decided not to pursue this start up. I was told I cannot get I. Instead they will give me a “free” 1 month and after that I can request a refund. Month passed I requested a refund and was told I cannot get it because I have to submit a request 5 days prior to end of the second listing. It’s a complete joke because the customer service never mentioned that. Just how great that I will get a second listing and I can get a refund after that.

"Genuinely the best investment team we…"

Genuinely the best investment team we have ever worked with. We've successfully raised 2 rounds recently, both in under 1 month timespans. Ideally you have to have a revenue/traction generating business model for the investors to see as a proof of concept and the rest is quite smooth sailing.

The best parts are:
1 - Team support on every step of the journey.
2 - Sheer size and diversity of the investors.
3 - Rapid speed of the funding round.

Absolutely fantastic investment connection team.
ps. Including the upcoming platform developments too.

"Angel Investment Network exceeded our expectations"

We were looking to add additional angel investors to our existing investor team and turned to AIN to expand our reach. Their team was very responsive and their customer service was first class! The number of investor connections greatly exceeded our expectations and we appreciate that several of the AIN investors made investments into our offering. We are now positioned to attract and close our Series A fund investments, thanks to AIN. I highly recommend AIN to both entrepreneurs and investors.

"Here is how they operate."

Here is how they operate.. you pay $200 USD to speed up your startup. nothing happen for 30 days.. just days later before you can request the refund based on the policy a "bot investor" appear and send you a email. said that angel investment don't honor the refund policy because you got a "investor interested" in fraud and it should be persecute federally.

"The platform was intuitive to use and we got our money back"

The platform was fairly intuitive to use, apart from the nudging feature which was difficult because you couldn't read the messages after you sent them. Otherwise clear and straightforward.

The staff were friendly and helpful when my first round was unsuccessful and they offered a free extension and extra nudges. After this unsuccessful attempt, they did refund the price as per their policy, without question. We may try again to fundraise on this platform again, with a different strategy.

"Complete and utter garbage"

Complete and utter garbage. You will not get any interest, do not waste a dollar. Tried it multiple times, paid for multiple months. Nothing.

"Avoid!"

Careful with your money people. These guys debit your card without prior consent.

There are plenty of alternatives that operate with more integrity.

"Upsells + Lame Service connecting Investors to Founders"

I found this site disappointing. I have used it on two occasions several years apart. These are the improvements I feel are necessary.
1. Transparency in refunds: no variations in terms.
2. No upsells, just upfront payment for access period: [you have to chase Investors; they do not approach you much]
3. Investors need to be properly scrutinised by AIN as to level of experience: I experienced lots of time-wasters and idea-theft [avoid MFowler UK | OZ idea-thief]
4. Investors need to be properly scrutinised: KYC, previous investments - not just a quick look on LinkedIN AIN post-contact but before Investors are admitted to the site and experience made clear. Standard is too low.
5. Clearly determine ACTIVE investors vs NON-ACTIVE otherwise your are wasting time and money if they contain on the paid nudge system. This is your job AIN - chase to see who is active and who is not.
6. Prevention of document downloads: preview only until they commit to invest - lots of hard work and your business passion can be randomly accessed and distributed without protection. This is not excessive tech. for one of the biggest Angel Investment Networks.
7. A better attitude towards Clients and some respect. This is our hard work and we are relying on you. Put yourself in your Client's shoes. Some of us need to eat and support our families and have spent a low of time working on our Business Plans. I mean years!
8. This is not just a 'numbers game'. A better service offering will mean that Entrepreneurs have better success in finding the right Investors, faster. That is what value is.
