			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my struggle of finding an angel investor (ملاك مستثمر) to invest in one of my websites, the only angel I was able to find was the death angel <img src='http://lostwithin.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So I was listening to Scorpions song &#8220;Send me an angel&#8221; and the following lyrics came into my mind, some will find it stupid and maybe funny but who cares <img src='http://lostwithin.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Hope you will like it, I call it &#8220;Send me an angel investor&#8221;</p>
<p>The lyrics:</p>
<p><strong>Business man said, &#8220;Just walk this way</strong><br />
<strong> To the dawn of the wealth</strong><br />
<strong> The money will blow into your face</strong><br />
<strong> As the VCs pass you by&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong> &#8220;Check your email from your laptop</strong><br />
<strong> It&#8217;s the call of business plan</strong><br />
<strong> Close your Facebook and you will find</strong><br />
<strong> Time to focus on your plan&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong> Here I am</strong><br />
<strong> Will you send me an angel investor?</strong><br />
<strong> Here I am</strong><br />
<strong> In the land of the broken dreams </strong></p>
<p><strong> Business man said, &#8220;Just find your place</strong><br />
<strong> In the MENA or KSA</strong><br />
<strong> Seek the investors along the way</strong><br />
<strong> Just beware of phony gray heads&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong> Here I am</strong><br />
<strong> Will you send me an angel investor?</strong><br />
<strong> Here I am</strong><br />
<strong> in the land of the broken dreams</strong></p>
<p><strong> Business man said, “Just upload your website</strong><br />
<strong> And reach out for the hits</strong><br />
<strong> Find the door to the investors land</strong><br />
<strong> Just believe in your plans”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here I am</strong><br />
<strong> Will you send me an angel investor?</strong><br />
<strong> Here I am</strong><br />
<strong> in the land of the broken dreams</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A business angel is a person who provides capital from his own funds to a private business owned and operated by another person who is neither a friend nor a family member.</p>
<p>The <em><strong>typical</strong></em> angel is often described as a wealthy, retired, former tech entrepreneur who regularly invests in other people’s start-ups. While a few angels look like this, the <em><strong>typical</strong></em> angel does not.</p>
<p>• Most angels aren’t wealthy. Estimates based on data from several sources suggest that the majority of angel investors are unaccredited investors.</p>
<p>• Few angels are retired. About two thirds are still working full or part time.</p>
<p>• The majority of angels live in two earner households.</p>
<p>• Most angels aren’t old. Surveys show that the odds that a person makes an angel investment peaks at between 45 and 54 years of age.</p>
<p>• Angels are more educated than the rest of the U.S. population, but one quarter of them have not graduated from college.</p>
<p>• Angels are no more likely to be experienced entrepreneurs than friends and family investors.</p>
<p>• Angels tend not to make many such investments, with a significant minority making just one angel investment in their careers.</p>
<p>Of course, the most <em><strong>successful</strong></em> angels differ from the typical angels.<br />
But the <em><strong>typical</strong></em> angel isn’t a retired former hotshot Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur.</p>
