Angel investors are perceived of as “filling the gap†between the financing provided by family and friends and venture capitalists. Individual Angel investors typically invest $25,000 †$150,000 per year, but it's becoming increasingly common for Angels to operate as part of an organized Angel Network (a group of Angel investors), like GTAN, which raises their potential investment level accordingly and allows them to share research and pool their investment capital. In short, our Angels are successful entrepreneurs who have typically either built their business, professional careers, or homes in the Golden Triangle region and are seeking opportunities to invest in companies in which they can take an active interest in.
