Angel (Private) Investors
|
| |
Angel
or Private Investors are high net-worth individuals
who invest in entrepreneurial companies, usually at an early
stage. Many angel investors provide money to young companies
and take equity in return. Some angel investors are members
of angel groups, allowing them to increase their access to investment
opportunities and giving them the possibility of investing together
with other angels to safeguard their risk.
Angel capital fills the gap in start-up financing between the
"three F" (friends, family and fools) and venture
capital. Most venture capital funds will not consider investments
under $1 million, while it is difficult to raise more than $100,000
- $200,000 from friends and family. Thus, angel investment is
a common second round of financing for high-growth start-ups.
Angel investments bear extremely high risk, and thus require
a very high return on investment. Typical angel investments
require a return of at least 15-20 times the original investment
within 5 years, as well as an exit strategy - plans for an IPO
or an acquisition. Angel financing is thus one of the most expensive
sources of funds. However, cheaper sources of capital, such
as bank financing, are not available for most early-stage ventures.
Angel investors are often retired business owners or executives,
who are looking for a "hobby", not just monetary return.
Thus, aside from funds, angel investors can sometimes provide
valuable management advice and important contacts
