You should begin looking for angels relatively close to you (as in an hour or two drive from your house at the most.) You can search on www.gobignetwork.com or do a quick search for angel investor groups to find local investors. Otherwise it's just a matter of going to local business organizations and chambers of commerce to meet as many potential investors as possible. It's really a numbers game after you have exhausted your network of family and friends. Your best bet after family and friends is to get referrals from them. Cold calling investors takes lots of time and decreases your chances of getting funded.
