The Role of an Angel Investors 

Angel investors are individuals who invest in start-up businesses; normally in the early stages. This tends to be on Seed rounds of financing and also Series A rounds. Angel investors fill the gap between friends and family, and more formal venture capital funds. Some invest purely for profit, others to engage and promote the health of the business community.

Angel Groups

An angel group consists of individual angel investors who have come together to invest collectively in entrepreneurial opportunities. While they come in many forms, these groups of investors share a number of common characteristics. They meet regularly to go over business proposals for potential investments and listen to pitches made by select entrepreneurs. Members then decide whether or not to invest in a particular business. Those who move forward then work together to conduct due diligence to validate the proposed plan, review financial statements and gain an understanding of the history of the entrepreneurial team.
