99% of startups seeking investors fail. The sole purpose of these companies is to pump and dump, so the investors stock gets pumped for "doing good business" thus making their money that way.

They can also easily pump money in and out to and from the mother/investment company in order to fake the turnover of the startup. It looks like the startup is making a lot of money! Others invest and the mother company pulls their money out and moves onto the next.

Sadly no startups looking for angel investors know about these dirty secrets...

Well, it all depends on agreement between startup and investor. If investor takes 51% of your startup, you probably will be kicked out off business, maybe not. If startup rise big and investors see the future, they just offer to rebuy from you at good price. But most of VC trying to get 51% of company, scale it, change it, divide, change the team, do that in short term and resell for profit. And there is many more factors. The other thing if you have an investor you'll be always under pressure. But that again everything depends on agreem, cooperation, possibility connect company with another company and etc.
It is not big amount, ye, but start a real product, it's good point, even WL brand at the beginning, especially when do you have storng IM base. What about saas, is not enough maybe for create, but you can create team with some funds, cooperating with them, make a team, brand co., and the same with any product. Working on own alone, it's very hard to scale, create and develop.thats my point of view.
