Angel investors are generally former entrepreneurs and/or executives, who invest in privately-held, early-stage companies. Sohl: “The Angel Investor Market in 2010: A Market on the Rebound”. approx 1999-07. Relatively untested early-stage ventures are less predictable and more prone to failure than established companies.

We’re just a little start-up with a big, big dream…We’ve just launched [link] in December 2010. You can sometimes attract capital from farther away but typically harder to do at early stage.

In October 2010, our new textbook will become available. My contributions to this undergraduate textbook, Venture Capital: Theory & Practice , are the result of two important collaborations. In recent years, many universities have followed, teaching venture capital as an elective course.
