What Angel Capital Does
Explains what angel capital is — early-stage money invested by individuals in young companies — and how checks, terms, and expectations actually work for founders and new angels.
Where angel money sits between friends-and-family rounds and venture funds, and why that position shapes every deal.
SAFEs, convertible notes, and priced rounds decoded clause by clause without the legalese.
How early-stage companies get priced when there is little revenue to point to.
What each side should ask before money changes hands, from board seats to update cadence.
Why experienced angels spread small checks across many companies instead of betting big on one.
Deal terms and behaviors that should make a founder or an angel slow down.
How Angel Capital Works
Start with the terms that appear in every early-stage deal — equity, dilution, SAFE, cap, discount — so nothing in a term sheet reads like a foreign language.
Follow a sample raise from first pitch to signed documents to see where negotiation actually happens.
Pick the founder track or the new-angel track for checklists matched to your side of the table.
