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
So I was listening to Scorpions song “Send me an angel” and the following lyrics came into my mind, some will find it stupid and maybe funny but who cares
Hope you will like it, I call it “Send me an angel investor”
The lyrics:
Business man said, “Just walk this way
To the dawn of the wealth
The money will blow into your face
As the VCs pass you by”
“Check your email from your laptop
It’s the call of business plan
Close your Facebook and you will find
Time to focus on your plan”
Here I am
Will you send me an angel investor?
Here I am
In the land of the broken dreams
Business man said, “Just find your place
In the MENA or KSA
Seek the investors along the way
Just beware of phony gray heads”
Here I am
Will you send me an angel investor?
Here I am
in the land of the broken dreams
Business man said, “Just upload your website
And reach out for the hits
Find the door to the investors land
Just believe in your plans”
Here I am
Will you send me an angel investor?
Here I am
in the land of the broken dreams

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.
The typical 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 typical angel does not.
• Most angels aren’t wealthy. Estimates based on data from several sources suggest that the majority of angel investors are unaccredited investors.
• Few angels are retired. About two thirds are still working full or part time.
• The majority of angels live in two earner households.
• 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.
• Angels are more educated than the rest of the U.S. population, but one quarter of them have not graduated from college.
• Angels are no more likely to be experienced entrepreneurs than friends and family investors.
• Angels tend not to make many such investments, with a significant minority making just one angel investment in their careers.
Of course, the most successful angels differ from the typical angels.
But the typical angel isn’t a retired former hotshot Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur.
