The 2013 Halo Report finds angel investment activity on the rise with more high-valuation deals closed in 2013 than in 2012. While median round sizes held steady at $600K per deal, they were at a three year high when angels co-invested with non-angels. The share of angel investment in Internet, healthcare and mobile startups continued to increase. Golden Seeds, Tech Coast Angels, and Houston Angel Network, which is new to the list, were the three most active angel groups in 2013. With a continued progression toward more even distribution of investments nationally, entrepreneurs throughout the country are likely to find it easier to access angel investors for critical early stage funding. The Halo Report, put together by the Angel Resource Institute, Silicon Valley Bank and CB Insights, includes aggregate analysis of investment activity by angel investors and angel investment groups, highlighting trends in round sizes, pre-money valuations, and industry investment preferences.

Special Round Types and Industry Sectors
The Halo Report™ provides analysis and trends on US angel and angel group activity.
Angels and angel groups invest alone, together, and with many other types of investors.
Unless otherwise noted the Halo Report data includes all rounds that have at least one
angel group participating and may include other types of investors in those rounds.
This report discusses angel group investment trends for 2013, which represents a total of
884 deals and $1.1B (excluding duplicates) in total rounds including co-investors.
A few charts report on an “Angel Round,” a special classification of investment when
angel groups invest alone or just with other angels and angel groups.
Unless otherwise noted, values of less than <1% are included, but are not labeled or
noted as a change in activity.
