Other Resources: Angel Financing

For information about the Angel Capital Education Foundation click here.

Smaller companies that fall below the radar of larger investors often raise capital through local Angel groups. Angel investors typically invest their own money, unlike venture capital where the money typically comes from a fund of pooled investments provided by institutions. Angels fill the gap between the first financing, often provided by the entrepreneur, and VC financing. Angels should be accredited and meet the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission to be considered qualified investors. Angels typically invest much smaller amounts of money compared to VCs. Recently, groups of angels have been coming together to raise several millions of dollars to make investments. This pooling of angel funding has come about because the time and cost to reach value-creating milestones has increased dramatically for many technology driven businesses.

Many angel investors were themselves entrepreneurs and often will want to take an active role in an investment. Because of their experience and skills, they can often bring more to a business than just capital.

There are hundreds of angel organizations in the United States and Canada and a listing by region can be found at the Angel Capital Education Foundation website (Funding Resources ). NOTE: THE ANGEL CAPITAL EDUCATION FOUNDATION DOES NOT PROVIDE FUNDS OR ADVICE ON BUSINESS PLANS. The Foundation is a resource for angels and entrepreneurs seeking angel funding.
