Business angels are individuals and legal entities that invest part of their own funds in innovative companies at the earliest stages of development. Business angels are the first professional investors to invest in innovative companies. They are usually followed by venture, and then direct, investments. The amount of business angel investment in one company ranges from several tens of thousands to one million euros.
Intel, Yahoo, Amazon, Google, Fairchild Semiconductors, and many other leading technology brands began their path to the heights of business with business angels. Business angel investing is one of the most important elements of the new economy — the knowledge economy. By investing in technology, intelligence, and creative teams, a business angel lays the foundation for future prosperity for themselves, their partners, and the country.
