3. Why this matters …
3
Rapid growth start-ups generate the most new jobs in
an economy and require the highest amount of equity
risk capital.
A 2005 study of 37 countries found that of various
sources of funding (debt, private equity, venture capital,
angel investor capital), only angel investor capital
significantly positively influenced the propensity to be
entrepreneurs.
Successful entrepreneurial hubs (Silicon Valley, Boston,
New York) all have developed angel investor networks
Incubated start-ups rely heavily on angel networks for
financing, contacts and strategy advice
