Several types of early investors can be approached:
1. Angel Investors: These are affluent individuals who invest their own money into startups. They often provide not just capital but also mentorship and expertise. 2. Seed Funds: These are institutional investors that specialize in early-stage funding. They usually invest in multiple startups, spreading their risk across a portfolio. 3. Venture Capital Firms: While typically involved in later stages, some VC firms have dedicated seed-stage funds. They bring in larger amounts of capital and extensive resources.
