For the entrepreneur, angel investment is one of the best ways to secure the funding needed to transform a great idea into a competitive venture. For the investor, angel investing holds the promise of enormous financial returns. In fact, many successful companies were funded by angels-companies like Cisco, AOL, and Amazon.com. Some of our top business leaders have cashed out to become angels leaders like Apple's John Sculley, Netscape's Jim Barksdale, and Microsoft's Paul Allen. Indeed, understanding angel investing is crucial for every entrepreneur and investor in today's marketplace. Angel Investing offers the first authoritative look at this emerging form of financing, complete with stories of the investors and companies that have led the way. It is also the only comprehensive guide for the entrepreneur seeking capital and the private investor looking for a better return on investments of $100,000 or more. Written by two veteran investors, Angel Investing is based on years of research, hands-on experience, and in-depth interviews with business angels, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs. It gives readers an unprecedented overview of how business angels compare with their better-known counterparts, venture capitalists, covering everything from investment motivations to exit strategies. It provides the resources entrepreneurs need to secure angel investment for their growing companies. And it shows would-be angels how to buy into small firms with strong growth potential. Entrepreneurs will learn what angel investors look for in a startup, how to pitch their company successfully, and how to tap the billions of dollars that business angels invest in entrepreneurial firms each year. Would-be angels will learn how to connect with startups, what criteria to look for before committing their capital, and how to make their first investment in an entrepreneurial firm. The book includes a resource section that features the first-ever listing of over seventy services.
Angel Investing can be divided into three main categories:
- General background about angel investors and venture capitalists and their relationship and importance to business and the economy.
- Practical advice for entrepreneurs seeking start-up funds from angel investors or venture capitalists.
- Practical advice for individuals considering becoming angel investors and making investments in small companies.

From the publisher
They deliver more capital to entrepreneurs than any other source. And they often receive an incredible return on their investments. They're angel investors, some of the most important - and least understood - players in business today. The United States has close to three million angels, whose investments in startups exceed $60 billion per year. Some of our most successful companies were funded by angels - companies like Ford, AOL, and Amazon.com. But until now, little has been written about these angels, due in part to their preference for anonymity. Angel Investors provides an inside look at who these angels are and how they operate. It also shows would-be angels and entrepreneurs how best to find each other.

This is the best research on the angel capital market that I've seen. It should be read by every serious researcher in small business finance as well as students in classes in entrepreneurial finance, but it is also a must read for every entrepreneur who needs additional equity financing. |

Anyone interested in raising capital for a new enterprise should read Angel Investing to better understand the changing role of venture capitalists and the emergence of business angels as a growing source of risk capital and sound advice. |

"Angel Investing" is a terrific reference for anyone preparing to seek early-round financing for a business. As the co-founder of a start-up, I have been searching for practical, real-world information on the capital market and the differences between the various options.
This book has been useful throughout my research. It contains an eye-opening comparison of Venture Capital groups and Business Angels. It also gives practical advice on what capital investors look for, what to include in your business plan, what to look for in an investor, as well as how to value your company and negotiate with the capital firms. I have found it invaluable and it has saved me countless hours in my search for seed money. |

One of the very few books that describes both the entrepreneur and the angel side of early stage deals. Anyone interested in understanding early stage investing will benefit from a thorough read. This book has excellent contact details for matchmakers and others. |
