The role of the angel funder

The angel funder is an important player in the world of business development. The angel funder is positioned somewhere between the bank and venture capital.

The angel funder is often a successful businessman in his or her own right. They often start to look for other investments when their original business is running well, and has a good management team in place.
In the early stages of being an angel funder they will generally invest at higher levels of risk than banks, but they can sometimes also be too keen to be involved, and often interfere in the management of the company in which they have invested.

Angel funders are great sources of funding, but try and find one that has matured and is happy to play the role of mentor rather than manager.
