Celebrating the Rise of Angel Investors Angel investors are pivotal to the startup ecosystem - often more so than venture capitalists! As someone deeply invested in the growth of startup communities, I’m thrilled to share that Angel Squad, led by Brian Nichols, has surpassed 2,000 members across 40 countries! This isn’t just a vanity number; it reflects a movement towards nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs. Here’s why Angel investors matter: -Catalysts for Growth: Angel investors provide essential early funding that institutional investors often shy away from. -Small Investments, Big Impact: Many notable successes, like early Uber investors, show that even small checks ($5k even) can lead to monumental returns ($25m at the IPO). -Support Beyond Capital: Angels bring invaluable introductions and advice that help startups navigate their growth journeys. Checks lead to more checks and intros. Many people think that Silicon Valley naturally has many angel investors because of its tech hub, schools, and weather. But, other now strong tech cities such as New York and Boulder are examples of cities that have successfully fostered active Angel communities to become tech hubs. Neither were tech cities prior. Angel Squad aims to expand, with a vision of growing to 10,000 and eventually to 100,000 Angel investors. We want to empower great entrepreneurs everywhere, not just in the U.S. Let's build!
