摘要
The purpose of this paper is to recognize factors and decision process that Iranian business angels use when they thinking about an investment opportunity. Mobile game opportunities are investigated in this research. Real time observation and interview with business angels are used to determine business angel's opinions. And after theoretical saturation, output data is coded and modeled using image theory. The authors find that business angel's decision making process can be divided into two stages, compatibility test and profitability test. Business angel in the first stage try to reject investment options that are incompatible with his/her mentalities and then select one or more options based on profitability. There is no unique method for entrepreneurs when they need to attract a business angel. Every business angel regards special factors from investment opportunity based on his/her mental images and entrepreneur should consider to business angel's beliefs, goals and resources.
