Learn About Angel Investors
If your growing business needs capital, but your personal resources are tapped out, don't despair - you can put your faith in angel investors. According to the University of New Hampshire's Center for Venture Research, there were more 234,000 active angel investors in the United States at the end of 2006 who invested in 51,000 private companies in the same year.
Active angel investors are a mix of the working wealthy and the retired rich. Some dabble in these private investments, while others manage their money full time. Like the businesses they invest in, angels come in all shapes and sizes.
