Who are Angel Investors?
Angel investment makes up a considerable percentage of the funds raised every year by investable entrepreneurs. Unlike Venture Capital (VC) investment, which comes from large corporate or institutional investors, Angel Investors are much more personal and ‘hands-on’.
Most Angel Investors have been entrepreneurs themselves. In fact, the funds they’re going to inject into your start-up almost certainly come from the money they made when they exited their own successful ventures.
This time around, they want to share their wealth, knowledge, and experience with early-stage founders just like you — although they’re unlikely to do it out of altruism. The typical Angel Investor will usually take a 10% to 30% stake in your start-up for their financial and business-savvy support.
