FAQs for [ROI]
Show me the sums that demonstrate this is better than investing with a classic VC. The average ROI for an Angel investor is 2.5x and for a VC it is 2.6x the initial investment. 90% of all VC projects fail and so the 2.5x and 2.6x ROI are based on only 10% of projects reaching the right maturity over time. In addition, Angel funds and VC funds charge management fees ranging from 4-5% in the first year to 1-2% over subsequent years, which, for an average fund holding period of five years equates to 9% to 13% cost on your money.PGF has minimal costs equal to deposit fees charged by 3rd parties (bank/card transactions) and no more than 1% charge for administration. PIPE focuses on a sector that performs 4x better than Angel/VC investments and through a longer Due Diligence by PIPE and associates (up to >90 hours per project) which increases outcomes by 600%. This reduces the failure rate from 90% to only 5% and increases the ROI from 2.5/2.6x to a minimum of 3.97x. All these figures are publicly available.
Why do you believe that you can get such a high ROI? European University R&D/IP performs 4x better (400%) over 4-5 years than their peer group (Forbes & Anderson Law), increased due diligence to >20 hours increases project survival rates by 6x or 600% (LinkedIn StartUp group). PIPE due diligence is >90 hours for EVERY project. 90% of all angel/early stage investments fail, but only 5% (forecast) of PIPE projects. When PIPE applies its improved due diligence and targeted sector, plus the application of patient, targeted capital it achieves the returns stated.
