Kozhikode is a coastal city in the south Indian state of Kerala. It was a significant spice trade center and is close to Kappad Beach, where Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama landed in 1498. The central Kozhikode Beach, overlooked by an old lighthouse, is a popular spot for watching the sunset. Inland, tree-lined Mananchira Square, with its musical fountain, surrounds the massive Mananchira Tank, an artificial pond.
An SL angel investor is an individual who provides capital for a business start-up, in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity. The capital provided by Angel Investors may be a one-time investment, or it may fund money during the initial stage to support and carry the company through its early stages.
SL Kozhikode Angels is the division of SL Angels that invests in Kozhikode based Startups. Angel Investors from Kozhikode and nearby regions meet regularly in different chapters for Angel Investors to collaborate, discuss, co-invest and mentor the startups.
SL Angel Investors are wealthy individuals who look for new businesses to invest in. The way angel investing works is that the investor will take a percentage of the equity of the business in return for funding. For many a new business that is struggling to find any funding at all, this can be a great way to generate enough cash flow to get a business off the ground or to keep it running when finances get tight.
