Description

An angel investor or angel (also known as a business angel or informal investor) is an affluent individual who provides capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity. New start-up companies often turn to the private equity market for seed money because the formal equity market is reluctant to fund risky undertakings. In addition to their willingness to invest in a start-up, angel investors may bring other assets to the partnership. They are often a source of encouragement; they may be mentors in how best to guide a new business through the start-up phase and they are often willing to do this while staying out of the day-to-day management of the business.

FAQ

Overall, the percentage of equity acquired by an angel investor can vary based on several factors but it usually ranges between 15-20%. A higher equity stake doesn't always mean a higher chance of a bigger return.

In general, you must meet one of the following definitions to qualify as an Accredited Investor: Individuals with annual income over $200,000 USD (individually) or $300,000 USD (with a spouse or spousal equivalent) in each of the last 2 years and an expectation of the same this year.

Angel investors typically expect a return on their investment primarily through equity in the company, which means they benefit from the company's growth and potential exit events, such as an acquisition or an initial public offering (IPO).

Here's how to do this: Understand your business and market. Know your business, your market, and how they intersect—in as much detail as possible. Craft your pitch. When crafting your pitch for angel investors, balance brevity with information richness. Showcase your financials. Highlight your team. Know your ask.

Unlike a loan that must be repaid with interest, angel investors focus on helping startups take their first steps. In return, they generally seek an equity stake and a seat on the board.

Angel investors typically seek a 10%-30% equity stake in a company. This percentage is negotiated based on your startup's valuation, the funding amount and the perceived risk. It's essential to strike a balance that reflects your company's current value and future potential.

A lot of advisors would argue that for those starting out, the general guiding principle is that you should think about giving away somewhere between 10-20% of equity.

Disadvantages of using angel investors Equity dilution: In exchange for funding, business angels usually get a portion of your company's ownership. Loss of control: Angel investors have vested interests in your company's growth. They may request board seats and take an active role in business decision-making.
