For early-stage startups seeking capital, an investment from an angel investor can make all the difference when getting your company off the ground.
While both angel investors and venture capitalists often invest in early-stage companies, angel investors give from their own money, often in smaller amounts. Early-stage entrepreneurs often recommend seeking out these personal investments because they come with different expectations than venture funds, which typically expect to see return in 10 years or less.
