FAQ

What is Angel Investment?

Angel investment is a manner of equity financing where an investor invests financial funding against acquiring an equity position in the company. Equity financing is normally used by businesses that are young or have been set up with limited resources or are non-established in the terms of financial backing and therefore do not have sufficient cash flow or collateral with which they can obtain business loans from financial institutions.

Who is an Angel Investor?

An angel investor (also known as a private investor, an informal investor, seed investor, business angel, or angel funder) is a person with high-net-worth, who invests in a new or small business venture or provides financial backing to small startups or entrepreneurs, typically in exchange of ownership equity in the company or a convertible debt. An angel investor also helps in providing capital for the start-up or expansion of such a business setup.

What are the sources of funds for Angel Investors?

Angel investors can be of different forms and therefore can be from different backgrounds and may have any of the following sources of investment:

  • Family and friends
  • Affluent individuals
  • Groups
  • Crowdfunding
