More About Angel Investors
Of the 500,000 start-ups each year, only 500 receive venture capital investments. The MAJOR source of equity for a new business comes from friends and family.  

Ninety percent of the investment outside of friends and family comes from angel investors. Angels tend to invest smaller amounts and tend to invest in younger companies than do Venture Capital firms. Angels also tend to invest close to home and can be difficult to locate.  

The desired investment profile for an Angel:
  •       A novel (new) or disruptive business concept
  •       A realistic business plan   
  •       Technological superiority   
  •       Realistic valuation
