Abstract

‘Angel Investing’ is a term used in the USA, and across the world, to designate the second (or third, or fourth, or fifth…) phase of funding employed by individuals as they bring a business concept to market. Angel investors are solicited for their funding of the new idea(s), and for special expertise they may hold. After funding available from family, friends (and other ‘fools!’) has been exhausted, the entrepreneur needing additional monies must reach out, typically first to angel investors (and later to venture capitalists), to secure money to keep the firm solvent, to take the ‘idea’ to the next level. While the founder or founding group may use institutional or private lenders as an idea is developed, debt is generally a limited option. Founders will often mortgage their homes and draw down their savings, but as those and other private funds are exhausted, the angel investor is commonly solicited.
