Angel Investing
(Private Equity)

Invest early, grow boldly.

What is Angel Investing?

Angel investing is the practice of backing early-stage startups with your own capital in exchange for equity. Angels are often the first outside investors in a company, providing not just funds but mentorship, industry knowledge, and strategic support. These are high-risk, high-reward investments aimed at startups with the potential to grow exponentially.

Angel investors play a critical role in the startup ecosystem, often bridging the funding gap between founders' personal funds and larger institutional rounds like venture capital.

Benefits

Early Access to High-Growth Potential : Angel investors enter before VCs, often at seed or pre-seed stages, gaining equity at lower valuations. According to the Indian Angel Network (IAN), angel investments have historically delivered internal rates of return (IRR) of 25%-30% annually in successful portfolios — outperforming many other asset classes.

Higher Potential Returns : While later-stage venture capital funds (like AIF Cat I/II) typically aim for IRRs of 15%–20%, individual angel investors who pick the right early-stage startups can achieve multi-bagger exits, with returns ranging upto 20x or more over a period of 5–7 years.

Portfolio Diversification with High-Upside Assets : Startup investments offer non-correlated growth opportunities that are unaffected by public market cycles. Angel investing can complement traditional assets like stocks, real estate, and gold.
