If you don't mind my asking, what sort of terms can you expect to get with an angel investor? What ownership stake vs funding levels are normal, and is there a point at which you revoke funding, or is it delivered all at once?

Do angel investors typically fund startups that don't have great capital expenditures?

Is this type of investment sought in the initial bootstrapping, before VC funding?

How much of a prototype is expected? A fully working product with customers?




Angels come before VCs. Offer 10 to 30% understanding that in the end they will come out with 5/10%.

The amounts are smaller so anything under 200k you will probably get it all at once.

Angel's fund companies they believe in.

No investing before a bootstrap product unless you have a background or more to offer.


Thanks! That clarified my understanding. :)
