How Big Is the Angel Capital Market?

View through CrossRef

Abstract How many angels are there? How much do they invest? How many companies get angel capital? These are important questions to entrepreneurs seeking capital, the angels providing it, and the policy makers hoping to marry the two. The good news is that we have answers to these questions. The bad news is that there’s no shortage of answers to them, and the answers don’t come close to agreeing. For example, estimates of numbers of companies receiving angel investments every year are as low as 15,000 and as high 700,000; estimates of the number of people who make angel investments are as low as 100,000 and as high as 3 million; and estimates of the amount of money that angels invest every year are as low as $20 billion and as high as $150 billion. Therefore, many of the reported statistics on angel investing—whether they are on the number of ﬁrms receiving angel investments, the number of angel investors, or the amount that angels invest—are incorrect by a very large order of magnitude. The question is: which ones are correct?
