Angel Investing Gaining Popularity & Sophistication Alongside Ecosystem Growth

 AngelCentral, a popular network of angel investors has just released its inaugural Angel Investor Behavioural Survey Report for 2022. This report surveyed 75 ASEAN based angel investors on their investing experience and behavior. The goal is to understand better how angel investing has developed as an asset class and how ASEAN angels make their investment decisions. Prior to this report, there has been no such sizable survey conducted as this is a new asset class.

ASEAN Angels are gaining maturity & experience

A majority (59%) of the survey respondents have invested in more than 5 startups, with 12% having a portfolio size of more than 30 startups. Majority of the angels (68%) are very disciplined investors and allocate less than 10% of investable assets into this asset class. The angels also are long term in view with aggressive expectations. 76% expect to make at least a 15% IRR over a 10 year period.

“As an active angel for 10 years, it is very gratifying to see our angel community growing in maturity such that it is now common to find angels who are methodically building a portfolio of at least 20 startups to achieve the right diversification effect and optimize for risk adjusted returns. Back in 2012, it was more common for angels to treat startup investing as lottery tickets where they invest in 3-5 startups and hope for the best,” shared Huang Shao-Ning, Chief Angel at AngelCentral.

ASEAN Angels are active cheerleaders & not just financially motivated

The top reason angels give for investing is that they get to learn from and interact with founders. Financial returns are a close second. This is consistent with the findings that an overwhelming majority of angels are not passive shareholders, but instead actively help founders with opening doors and advice.

“As an active Angel, one of our strongest value add is that we have scaled and sold a tech business before. So we relate well to the emotional journey of founders and share our experience with them,” Huang added.

Who is the typical ASEAN angel?

The typical ASEAN angel is aged 41-55, overwhelmingly male and invest mainly out of their net worth rather than income. They invest mostly within the region and have an initial cheque size per startup of between USD$20K-50K.

Canada – Investing in Product Development for PEI Festivals and Events

Tourism has been uniquely impacted by COVID-19 around the globe. In Atlantic Canada, tourism was both the first and the hardest hit sector. Amid the immense challenges of the pandemic, festival and event organizers across Prince Edward Island have adapted and persevered. Looking towards the future, creators are eager to explore new ways to advance the sector and reach new markets. Full recovery for the festivals and events sector is expected to take several years, and the Government of Canada is working to expand opportunities to develop new tourism products and ensure the industry is well positioned for long-term, sustainable growth.

Fund will support new and re-imagined events to help build and sustain the tourism industry post-pandemic  

March 4, 2022 · Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island · Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA)

Tourism has been uniquely impacted by COVID-19 around the globe. In Atlantic Canada, tourism was both the first and the hardest hit sector. Amid the immense challenges of the pandemic, festival and event organizers across Prince Edward Island have adapted and persevered. Looking towards the future, creators are eager to explore new ways to advance the sector and reach new markets. Full recovery for the festivals and events sector is expected to take several years, and the Government of Canada is working to expand opportunities to develop new tourism products and ensure the industry is well positioned for long-term, sustainable growth. 

An innovative pathway for tourism recovery

Today, Sean Casey, Member of Parliament for Charlottetown, announced an investment of $676,500 to support new and diverse product development in PEI’s tourism industry. The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA.

The investment will establish the PEI Events Innovation Fund, to be administered through the Tourism Industry Association of Prince Edward Island (TIAPEI). Projects supported through the fund will help expand PEI’s tourism offer in all four seasons, showcasing the Island’s cultural and culinary assets in new and fresh ways that can sustainably grow as the tourism sector continues to recover.

Today’s announcement demonstrates the Government of Canada’s commitment to this key sector in Atlantic Canada, supporting innovation and expanded economic opportunities in rural communities, and helping the region’s tourism operators continue to deliver world-class tourism experiences.     

“In the face of much adversity, Atlantic Canada’s tourism leaders have shown such creativity and resilience. As restrictions lift, and we begin to safely welcome more visitors back to our special part of the world, the Government of Canada is here to support your hard work by making strategic investments for a strong recovery.”


–    The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA

“Festivals and special events play an important role in fostering our community pride and shaping the experiences of visitors. They provide an opportunity to gather and celebrate, but they also create essential economic opportunity in some of our smaller communities.”


–    Sean Casey, Member of Parliament for Charlottetown

“We are very pleased to see the Prince Edward Island Innovation Fund announced here today. Festivals and Events have been a big demand generator for visitation to our Island, and play such an important role in showcasing our culture, history, and music. This fund will allow many organizers to begin to rebuild on such an important sector of our tourism industry.” 


–    Corryn Clemence, CEO, Tourism Industry Association of Prince Edward Island

2nd Annual Investing for Success Conference – From the Tax Lien Lady

 Joanne Musa, Founder of TaxlienLady.com® is Hosting the 2nd Annual Live Virtual Investing For Success Conference January 5 – 6, 2022.

The last 2 years were tough for many. Have there been obstacles that have been suffered?

· Been unemployed or under-employed due to COVID?

· Furloughed from a job for a long period of time?

· Accumulated a lot of debt on account of lost income due to the pandemic?

“If any of these things have happened, you are not alone,” says Joanne Musa, The Tax Lien Lady. “My husband was first furloughed at the start of COVID and eventually let go from his job, so I understand what it’s like to lose a large part of your income and benefits. But there is also an upside, and I’d like to help you make the most of it.”

What’s the upside?

Well, if a job was lost where there was a 401K, it can now be rolled over into a truly self-directed IRA. Use money from a SDIRA to invest in things like real estate and tax liens. How would having a blueprint for investing in alternative assets that are less risky than the stock market feel like?

Learn how a positive money mindset is needed to help succeed in investments (and everything else) and how to better manage money.

If this resonates, then the investor is covered.

On Wednesday and Thursday, January 5 – 6, 2022, Joanne Musa is hosting a Virtual “Investing For Success Conference.” Joanne, known online as The Tax Lien Lady® will be interviewing 8 other experts on how to have peace of mind for money, investments, and retirement.

This online conference will be covering topics like…

· how to become a personally owned bank, pay off debt and grow wealth faster

· how to manage money for building wealth and leaving a legacy

· what’s happening with the real estate market

· where are the best investment opportunities in real estate right now

· how to invest in multifamily properties and apartment houses

And the best part is… it’s free.

Come to the live conference.

It starts at 12 pm Eastern Time, 9 am Pacific, each day.

On January 5, day 1, 4 experts will speak on topics related to money mindset and managing money to build wealth and leave a legacy.

On day 2, January 6, 4 more experts will be interviewed on alternative investment opportunities that can be taken advantage of now.

Each day will end with a 30- minute Q & A session with the experts and will conclude at 3:45pm Eastern Time.

This live virtual event is on January 5th & 6th.

Canada – Investing in recreation, green and rural infrastructure for residents of Newfoundland and Labrador

Today, the Honourable Seamus O’Regan Jr., Minister of Natural Resources, on behalf of the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, and the Honourable Elvis Loveless, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, announced over $99 million in joint funding for green, recreation and rural infrastructure for residents across Newfoundland and Labrador.

St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, August 13, 2021— Canadians everywhere are feeling the impact of COVID-19 on their families, their livelihoods and their way of life. Together, Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador are working to enhance citizens’ quality of life, meet the needs of communities, and promote job creation and investment to address the impact of COVID-19.

Today, the Honourable Seamus O’Regan Jr., Minister of Natural Resources, on behalf of the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, and the Honourable Elvis Loveless, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, announced over $99 million in joint funding for green, recreation and rural infrastructure for residents across Newfoundland and Labrador.

Today’s investments will support 88 infrastructure projects that will make a difference in the lives of residents across the province. The projects include upgrades to recreation facilities, water and wastewater systems, and roads that people rely on to go about their daily activities. Together, these investments will ensure residents continue to benefit from safe, sustainable and reliable public infrastructure services for years to come.

The Government of Canada is investing more than $39.3 million in these projects through the Community, Culture and Recreation Infrastructure Stream, Green Infrastructure Stream, and the Rural and Northern Communities Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. One project is also receiving funds through the federal Canada Community-Building Fund. The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is contributing more than $39.3 million, while project recipients are contributing more than $20.3 million in total towards their respective projects.

“Investing in public infrastructure is investing in a better quality of life for Canadians. The 88 projects announced today will provide residents across Newfoundland and Labrador with the services and facilities they rely on to stay healthy, enjoy an active lifestyle, and to connect with one another. Canada’s infrastructure plan invests in thousands of projects, creates jobs across the country, and builds stronger and more sustainable communities.”

The Honourable Seamus O’Regan Jr., Minister of Natural Resources

“So many people across Canada step up for their communities, they work hard and give their time and energy to make a difference. I am so proud that as a government we can support them in making their dreams a reality, building stronger, healthier and more resilient communities together.”

Yvonne Jones, Member of Parliament for Labrador 

“Investing in these projects announced today are an integral part of keeping our rural towns and communities in Newfoundland and Labrador thriving. This infrastructure investment in Bonavista-Burin-Trinity and the province will bolster much needed upgrades and services to help residents in Newfoundland and Labrador stay healthy and well, all while protecting key infrastructure for generations to come. I’m proud to be announcing projects that are creating jobs across the country, and building stronger communities.”

Churence Rogers, Member of Parliament for Bonavista-Burin-Trinity

“We continue to work with our Federal and Municipal partners to create a happy and healthy province. These projects will provide a great number of communities with the ability to become a better place for our residents to live and grow.”
