What is meant by the term "Angel Investor"?

The term was originally used when referring to financiers of Broadway plays. Many plays would not have reached the opening night if it were not for the generous funding of Angel-Investors. Today the term is used when referring to individuals or groups who choose to invest their own personal wealth into start-up businesses and budding entrepreneurs. There are an estimated quarter of a million Angel Investors in Britain, who invest in excess of £3 billion in these opportunities.

What is a typical Angel Investor Profile?

Angel-Investors are typically middle-aged, affluent, erudite, and ambitious. They have most likely run one or more businesses of their own, and often remain connected to their business in a non-executive role. They are often seeking to utilise the financial opportunity gained in terms of Capital Gaines tax relief. Angel Investors are typically sought when an entrepreneur’s capital is exhausted, and typical investments made by an Angel Investor vary from as little a £5,000 up to £500,000, which falls below the investment a Venture Capital firm by be looking to invest.
