8 types of angel investing

One of the most modern types of investors are business angels. This, however, does not mean that you should accept money from any angel. Choosing the right type of business angel is also an important success factor.

Like any other classification, this is also quite subjective.

The most important thing to know about them is that they invest only when the market is good. Such investors are mainly associated with financial rewards, which they can receive in view of high-risk investments. For this type of angels, investing in startups is another important addition to their already diversified investment portfolio.
