What is Angel Capital? How can I get a list of Angel Capital groups?
Angel capital is money given to a company by Angel Investors (wealthy individuals). This is not institutional money, rather money earned (usually) by former executives of companies or by other means. It's cash from their own bank account. Its often known as risk capital because of the high risk in giving it to start-up companies. In fact, from what Angel Investors tell me and the audience at my Venture and Angel Events, they typically expect 60%+ of the companies that they invest in to go out of business!! They only expect to actually Make a nice return from 10% of the companies they invest in! Hopefully this will be a nice enough return to balance out and make a profit on all of the money they invested.
Often Angel Investors group together and form Angel Groups. There are hundreds of these throughout the country. Here is a directory of Angel Groups:
