Entrepreneur turned angel-cum-venture investor Alok Mittal has proposed a new funding structure that will help catalyze more angel investments. The framework aims to ensure that the angel investor receives an equity upside if the venture becomes highly scalable; if, however, it turns out to be "only" a "lifestyle" business (i.e., not scalable enough to generate an great exit for the equity investors, but nevertheless generates good cashflows), the investor would receive a good rate of interest for his risk.
