When startups need funding, angel investors can be an attractive alternative to debt financing.
"Angel investing is the act of providing funding to early-stage startups before they're ready to raise venture capital," says Ryan Feit, co-founder and CEO of SeedInvest.
Once the domain of high-net-worth investors, angel financing has become more accessible thanks to the passage of The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. The act removed some of the regulatory restrictions surrounding financial angels and their investment activity.
