Angel Investor

An angel investor is a person who invests their own money in a startup at an early stage, often in exchange for shares in the company. Unlike venture capital funds, angel investors usually get involved at a very early stage, before the company has proven its commercial viability. They may also bring their expertise and network to help the startup grow.

How does angel investing work?

Angel investors often fund startups in the early stages to help them get through the first steps of development, such as building the product or finding market traction. In exchange, they receive a share of the company. This can also be a loan convertible into shares if the startup manages to raise more funds later.

Concrete example

Imagine you are developing a fitness app with a good idea but not much capital to launch it. An angel investor could invest €50,000 to help you finalize development and launch a marketing campaign. In exchange, they might receive 10% of your company's shares. If the app succeeds and you attract other investors later, the value of their shares will increase.

Why work with an angel investor?

Angel investors can be an excellent source of funding when your startup is not yet ready for larger funding, such as venture capital. They are also often more flexible and can provide valuable advice and a professional network.
