Rukhami,
Case study #1
The following case study is about the most profitable investment, which should be recognized by the angels with help of different relevant and vital questions. Depending on the kind of the proposed projects, I would like to figure out the advantages and perspectives of each of them. However, I think that there are some fundamental questions to ask. It’s necessarily to be highly interested in a financial side of a project. That’s why the first questions I would ask are: “What is the estimated price to launch and maintain my investment?
What is the predicted revenue? How profitable is it?
How liquid is this suggestion?
What is my biggest risk and how much can I loss in total?”
The next step is to identify who is the potential customer, whether there are a lot of competitors or not, has this kind of business already existed before, etc. (questions to ask in every segment)
Now, let’s concentrate on every proposition specifically. * Manufacture of small bottles of flavours. The flavours you can add to water or other drinks to get the taste you like.
Having analyzed the detailed information about this product, I came to the point to start up my interview with clarifying
“Why is it innovative?”
“How much would one bottle cost?”
“What would be the market price per one unit?”
“Did a marketing research take a place? If yes, what are the results and what did the questionnaires show?”
“Who came up with this idea and why does he/she believe in it?”
“Which kind of regulations should be complied with? Did a company receive the certificates of ISO to operate?” Based on the information from all of the above, I would make an effective decision. However, I think, that intuitively I would invest in this project because of the high popularity of soft beverages, the trend towards healthy and green food.

A small cup which can fit into the cup-holder in a car. The cup contains tissues which can be used to clean hands etc when eating/drinking on the move. Nowadays, nobody can imagine a life with no cars. Any customer can find an appropriate option for the price they can afford to. But, as an investor I have my strong doubts about the creditability of this project.
“Is it exclusive?”
“What if you forget to full a cup with tissues?”
“Where would it be launched?”
“How does it differ from the usual packages of tissues of different sizes?”
“Has it ever been experienced before and where?” I find the idea itself non-creative and non-special enough to get the interest of the potential customers. Since any investor does not want to risk, I would most probably deny to give away my money.

* A Flavoured cinnamon sticks that can be used in drinks - just add hot or cold water.

CINNAMON STICK USESThis business model seems to be interesting, but the main question which should be arisen is “WHERE will it be sold?”. Location in this case plays a determining role. Not less important is “Who is going to be a principle supplier of Ceylon Cinnamon sticks themselves?” For example, if the product is delivered from outside countries, I would ask “What are the shipping costs and fees for transportation?” Of course, the investors should pay heed on the principle target group. As I have already mentioned in very beginning, such a question as “Who is the potential consumer?” has to be mentioned necessarily. Regarding at the huge range of the existing substitutes, I have to clarify “What is the major competitive advantage?” “Why would a customer prefer these sticks to the others flavored spices?” I am not going to invest in this project, because once again I would not like to risk too much, overestimating the possible profit and revenue. | |

There are many people who love extreme, there are many people who love vintage. If the entrepreneurs prove such an important thing as safety,being able to answer
«Which are the precautions, which should be Observed?» «What is the risk for the customers to use this service?» «How much would a firm pay in accident situation?», «What are the exact areas, where the tours will take a place?»,
I would definitely invest it. Moreover, considering this project from the financial side, it's crucial to know «What is the cost for repairing, maintaining and Purchasing the vehicles?».
I really like this project and I assume, that it will definitely be successful in a sense of profitability, especially in touristic countries. For example, in Spain, in Barcelona. Since I believe in the effective way to realise this sort of providing service, I would be glad to make the investments. * A woman who is good at making tapas decides to start a company and sell them. * A woman who is good at making tapas decides to start a company and sell them.
This is the only project, on which I can’t decide exactly if I invested or not. It depends mostly on the LOCATION. I would never agree to invest such a kind of service here, in Barcelona, because there are too much competitors and it might not go well. However, I would approve it in case to be located in England, for example.
“Where does a woman want to open a café?” “What is new about the tapas? Some secret ingredients, which can make this place different from the many others?” As the investor, primarily, I have to think about the success of any business, taking into account different factors. In this case, I would assess very accurately what is the possible risk , whether that woman is really so good in making tapas, asking the previous consumers and being provided with the marketing research results.
