Bad idea. Placing an ad in the local paper looking for investors is like throwing money away.
There are a lot of ANGEL INVESTORS on this website.
TWO suggestions. One) Go to the box on the right under Bank of America.
Its " Email Search this site. Key in ANGEL INVESTORS
Two) Investors will want to see a Business Plan
Be careful, LUCKIEST

Finding the right angel investor is akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Almost 60 percent of the $25 billion of angel money invested in the US in 2006 went into the technology, software and healthcare sectors. The average investment in 2006 was less than $500 thousand.

That being said, it was reported by The Wall Street Journal this past fall that angel investor groups are expanding their investment outlook beyond tech and Internet start-ups. Some angel investors are now investing in consumer products, food and beverage makers and even retail.

Most angel groups focus their investment dollars in their own backyard. A good place to start looking is the listing of groups by location on the website of the Angel Capital Education Foundation. You might also check out the Angel Capital Association.

Hope this is helpful.

Do you have a business plan?

Do you know the pros and cons of getting you capital from an angel group?

We funded over $8 billion in business out of our network in 2007.
