An angel investor is a person who invests in a business venture, providing capital for start-up or expansion. These individuals are looking for a higher rate of return than would be given by more traditional investments (typically 25% or more).
Usually, an angel investor is looking for a personal opportunity as well as an investment.
Often such an investor has business experience as well as money, and will want to play some sort of active role in managing the company.
Because he or she is interested in adding value to the company, it's important for any business person thinking of accepting investment from an angel investor to be very clear about what the angel investor is bringing to the deal besides money, and to develop an understanding of what the angel investor would be like to work with.
