Angel investors are most often investors with a high net worth or entrepreneurs that have "cashed out." They are people who are interested in mentoring entrepreneurs and also often try to be actively engaged in helping the business they will be backing. These types of investors, in fact, put in approximately $25 billion each year into tens of thousands of businesses that are just staring up. These types of investors usually operated alone in the past, but currently more and more of these angels are joining into groups to pull their resources and knowledge together to determine promising prospects and create a joint screening process for said prospects.
There are several important things to know about these angels. They are not venture capitalists, or VCs. Instead, they are investing their own funds into businesses they believe in, unlike venture capitalists that use money most often from institutional sources. Angels also start up businesses that are at an early stage, while venture capitalists typically work with later stage businesses. While venture capitalists may invest upwards of $2 million into project, angels, instead, invest anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 typically. Angel investors may be attracted by offering to give up some control or ownership of your business and being able to have profitable strategies to have a significant return within the next several years or to exit profitably. Business.com has plenty of more information on angels and how to attract these forms of investors.
