An angel investor is an affluent individual who provides capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity. Angel investors are often among an entrepreneur’s family and friends. The capital they provide can be a one-time investment to help the business propel or ongoing support to help through the difficult early stages.
