Possible Roles of Business Angels
• Passive
• 1-2 times a year.
• You invest with others and receive information on the company like all other shareholders. A shareholder meeting is usually held once a year.
• Active
• Average 0.5-2 days a month alone or as a group.
• Usually as a Board Member or Advisor. When you make the investment you have to decide whether or not you want to be on the Board and negotiate it as a term.
• Very Active
• 1 day a week alone or as a group.
• Usually playing an operational role. Need to discuss upfront if you will be compensated for it and if yes, how much and split of cash and equity.
• Adopted from: GoBeyond, Early Stage Investing, Business Angel Training, September 2012
