Where To Find Angels

Here are the profiles generally attributed to Angels:

• Most are entrepreneurs themselves.

• Generally middle aged; 47+ looking for diversification.

• Have high incomes, but are not necessarily millionaires.

• Most are highly educated with advanced technical degrees, M.S. or Ph.D.

• They are very active investors averaging 3-4 deals per year.

These individuals can be reached through numerous sources. They attend trade shows, venture capital type meetings, and visit universities to find deals. Finding them is a matter of personal networking. Many will remain hidden from the individual entrepreneur, so using an intermediary is often the only way to meet them.
