Angel Investing
Angel investing is a form of venture capital where high-net-worth individuals, or “angels”, provide capital to startups and early-stage businesses in exchange for equity or convertible debt. It is a key source of capital for many startups who are looking to innovate and develop their products or services, and can often be the difference between success and failure in a venture. Angel investors also typically provide mentorship, market advice, and access to networks of other investors.
