Being an Angel investor means either, or both, pursuing a passion to be involved in the exciting and challenging start-up phase of a business, and having an appetite for investing your own cash in a number of high risk ventures run by other people.

The opportunity is certainly there, in many cases, to get involved as an executive of a company in which you have invested but, the goal of Angel investing is NOT to buy yourself a job.

By gathering together with like minded individuals in an Angel group you can enjoy the camaraderie of sharing a hobby, develop the trust to benefit from shared experiences, extend the scope of your portfolio and have greater confidence in managing your risks.

Or in short – Have fun making money with friends.
