Chapter 2 in Angels Without Borders:Trends and Policies Shaping Angel Investment Worldwide, 2015, pp 7-24 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Financing start-up ventures is only one piece of the entrepreneurial puzzle and surely not as important as the quality of the management team or perhaps other aspects of venture creation. However, raising money is critical to success for many of the high-growth new companies that fuel job and wealth creation around the world. Angel investing is one source of financing for entrepreneurs. But understanding the importance of angel capital requires an appreciation of the entire capital food chain for start-up ventures. These sources are covered below, essentially in the order that entrepreneurs seek certain types of capital, from idea stage to the stage of rapid revenue growth.
