Angels
Angel investors are individuals who invest in startup businesses with their own money. Many are successful entrepreneurs who want to help other entrepreneurs grow their business.
Why is it important?
Angels often bridge the financial gap between the self-funded stage of the business and venture capitalist round. Investments typically range from individual contributions as low as $5,000 to $25,000, although higher investments occur.
