One of the most difficult components in starting and growing a new venture is securing funding and other resources to sustain the firm’s survival and growth. Funding for many new ventures comes from a large, yet relatively unidentified, group called angel investors. This paper provides an overview of angel investing as a source of funding for start-up firms.
