Approximately one in 10 start-up or early-stage companies in the U.S. receives equity capital from angel investors. Angel investors, on an individual basis or through groups, may invest up to 90 percent of the independent equity that early-stage businesses receive. Angel organizations are important because they help individual investors combine their funds with other angels, lead to better investing practices as members learn from one another, and make investors more accessible to entrepreneurs as groups publicize their existence in their communities.
