Recommendation

Angel investors are rapidly becoming an important source of capital for growing companies around the world, and angels’ influence on firm outcomes may be more powerful than many people believe. Angel participation in businesses improves start-ups’ performance, longevity and growth, according to this scholarly paper from experts Josh Lerner, Antoinette Schoar, Stanislav Sokolinski and Karen Wilson. getAbstract recommends their illuminating work to investors and entrepreneurs interested in global angel investing.

Although angel investors, crowd sourcing platforms and other “individualistic” funding options maintain a lower profile than the venture capital (VC) market, they appear to influence outcomes for start-ups and young companies significantly.

Particularly in countries without developed capital markets, angels’ strong relationships with entrepreneurs help spur business investment and economic activity.
