What is Angel Investing?
Angel investing refers to high-net-worth individuals who provide financial backing to startups in exchange for equity ownership. These individuals are typically experienced entrepreneurs, business professionals, or retired executives who contribute insights and capital to help the startup succeed.
Angel investors play a crucial role in the early stages of a company's development. Especially when traditional sources of funding may be challenging to access. Angel investors differ from venture capital firms in a key aspect: they invest their own personal funds, as opposed to managing and investing pooled resources from a variety of investors. This means that their involvement can be more hands-on and they might provide more expertise and insights.
From C-suite positions and corporate lawyers to ecosystem builders, many careers benefit from experience as an angel investor. Startup founders, venture capitalists, and private equity professionals also benefit from the takeaways from the Angel Fund course.
