How are angel investors different from venture capitalists?
Angel investors are typically high-net-worth individuals (or groups of wealthy individuals) who invest their own money very early into the formation of a new startup company, usually in exchange for convertible debt or equity. The role of angel investors serves as a critical bridge between the startup financing needs of a company and its larger capital needs later on. Angel investors invest their own money so that it can come from a variety of sources. In order to be an angel investor, a person does not have to be an accredited investor. However, a lot of angel investors have accredited investors.
Venture capitalists (VCs) are employees of venture capital firms that invest other people’s money (which they hold in a fund) into companies. VC is financing that’s invested in startups and small businesses that are usually high-risk but also have the potential for exponential growth. VC is a great option for startups that are looking to scale big — and quickly. Because the investments are fairly large, your startup has to be prepared to take that money and grow.
