Some people think only the mega-corporations
like Exxon and BP are leading the way in oil and gas investment, but Angel Investors are having an impact as well. In Colorado oil wells can be drilled for $1.5 million – about the same amount as a typical Angel Investment Deal. Angels are profiting from these investments – even after the recent cuts in oil prices.
It’s not just exploration that holds promise for angels – there are new opportunities for SaaS applications that can make oil and gas companies operate more efficiently, saving companies millions and spawning new companies providing software services to companies that are looking to cut costs in what ever ways they can. Angel investors are familiar with how SaaS applications have disrupted other industries ranging from finance to taxis and hotel rooms and now there are great opportunities for startups to make an impact in the oil and gas industry.
