Angel investors are typically entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, or high net-worth individuals who are looking to diversify their portfolio by investing in start-up companies. They provide critical capital at the early stages of a business’s development and are often willing to take risks that banks and other traditional investors might not. Angel investors can provide resources, advice, and connections to networks and other potential investors. They can also help to mentor and guide the entrepreneurs they invest in and add value to the business.
