This plain-language overview is accessible to a wide readership of investors, business leaders, entrepreneurs, policy makers, scholars, and those working in NGOs. Angel investing is defined
here as early-stage private investment; angels invest their own after-tax money, unlike venture capitalists, who are investing other people’s money. Much of the book is written by individual
angel investors from around the world, describing their experiences. Part 1 overviews trends and issues in angel investing worldwide, looking at sources of capital for start-ups, angel
investing by and for women, and crowdfunding. Part 2 describes instances of angel investing in 26 countries. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
