Ask HN: How Do I Find an Angel Investor to Support My Startup?

Lordarminius — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 08:24:27 +0000

I'm building a tech startup from Nigeria. The idea is validated and there is demand. My startup solves a pain point I have personally experienced. I made an early decision to build distribution first. I've gotten to the stage where in order to make anything other than snail-pace progress, I need external investment. Nothing crazy, 35k-50k. I don't have that sort of money, and the wealthy people I know are not into startup investing. I'm hoping HN can guide me to finding capital from first believers aka angel investors, to accelerate this project. African (and Nigerian founders) : where do angel investors hang out?

This is a very ignorant take. Americans always want to pin everything on a bogeymen. The largest beneficiary we know of in this liquidation event was an anonymous trader who shorted bitcoin on Hyperliquid just before Trump's tarrif announcement, and made 88M dollars.You think the Chinese did that ? If the Chinese wanted to nuke any market it would be equities.

Baghdad and Kabul had nowhere near the military capabilities of the Iranians who can close shipping lanes, sink US warships and attack military bases and oil installations in the region, in addition to devastating all the major Israeli cities. In the chaos that ensues, the Chinese and Russians would move in and take advantage. The global economy would grind to a halt and America would spiral into a depression that would take at least a decade to recover from.

All the major social media and messaging platforms are compromised and serve as tools for surveillance, so the Iranian government isn't wrong.

Unsustainable public debt. $50 trillion in debt maturity must be rolled over mid 2025. Something must give

* AI and LLMs will continue to improve. AI will create a new programming language that will take the world by storm

* Market share for solar continues to increase

* A market crash occurs in the US and a government bailout is instituted.

* The US creates a pretext to go to war with Iran and is defeated.

* Bitcoin is on a trajectory to reach 200k and it will if we get a strong bull season. However the elephant in the room is the House of Cards that is the US financial system. It appears primed to go poof!

* Solar and LLM's will bloom.

>I like index funds so much , that everything else feels a time / effort waste even though I am aspiring to be a programmer , maybe that's partially why I don't see much reason in crypto.

Crypto is the future of money and finance. If you are aspiring to become a programmer you should internalize this and get in.

1. I'm writing a book on Git. I did my research and was shocked to discover many otherwise tech savvy individuals still cannot manipulate Git from the command line, and resort to the use of desktop applications (yikes!)

2. An edtech app to learn coding efficiently. AI will certainly enable 100x developers, but we must first train 1x devs.

Features: structured learning, a curriculum designed by humans, AI assistance for when stdents get stuck, code samples and project based learning, covers different languages (we start with Ruby, Rust and JS, with more to be added), and technologies (CL, Nushell, SQL - again more to be added), numerous exercises. Think of it as an improved version of w3schools and the like.

One reason I am disclosing this online is to hold myself accountable.The other is in hope of finding an angel investor.

> I guess when you're up against anti-vax fear mongering, you need to fight fire with fire.

You do know the vax is associated with a myriad of side effects including clots, strokes, reduced fertility and increase in turbo cancers, contains dna contaminants and was not properly tested don't you ?

You don't understand anything about the power of digital currencies. Every one of your points shows this.
