Angel Investor

Understanding the Role of an Angel Investor

An angel investor, also known as a private investor, is an individual who provides financial support to a company during its early stages of development. Unlike venture capitalists, who typically represent professional venture capital firms and invest a pooled sum of money, angel investors are independent individuals who take personal risks and invest in a vision they believe in. In return for their support, angel investors often receive equity in the company. If the startup is successful, angel investors can earn a return on their investment and potentially more.

In the realm of cryptocurrency, numerous blockchain companies secure funding from angel investors who are often discovered through investment and entrepreneurial networks.
