Qualifications for Angel Investors

Previously, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) required Angel Investors to meet their definition of an accredited investor. The general rule was that an Angel had to have a net worth of at least $1 million and make $200,000 a year.
The concept that the SEC released states that an accredited investor is someone who has the “financial sophistication and [the] ability to sustain the risk of loss of investment.”

They went on further to add that an accredited investor can be one of the following (among other various requirements):

• A bank, registered broker-dealer, an insurance company, a registered investment company, or a business development company.
• A private business development company.
• A tax-exempt charitable organization, corporation, or partnership with assets in excess of $5 million.

On top of these new changes, there have also been changes to equity crowdfunding rules through the JOBS Act. Because crowdfunding has become so popular, it means that small startups no longer have to rely on accredited investors to receive funding.

Now, companies can accept up to $1 million in funding through equity crowdfunding. To protect investors, individuals can only invest up to 10% of their annual income or net worth. There isn’t a minimum amount required in order to invest this way.

What do all of these changes mean? Practically anybody who has the wealth to make investments and wants to reap the benefits can technically become an Angel Investor.

Who Are Angel Investors?

According to investopedia.com, an angel investor (also known as a private investor, seed investor or angel funder) is a high net worth individual who provides financial backing for small startups or entrepreneurs, typically in exchange for ownership equity in the company. Often, angel investors are found among an entrepreneur's family and friends. The funds that angel investors provide may be a one-time investment to help the business get off the ground or an ongoing injection to support and carry the company through its difficult early stages.

The 2017 American Angel study, conducted by the Angel Capital Association (ACA), provided some very useful data points through their survey of 1,659 U.S. angels, the largest such study ever conducted. Their survey included 40 quantitative questions and four qualitative ones which provided these insights:

• Angel investors provide $25 billion to 70,000 companies annually, accounting for 90 percent of outside funding for startups.
• Angels are more diverse than venture capitalists, with women making up 22 percent of investors.
• The racial mix leans heavily towards white investors, who account for 87.6 percent of angels.
• The mean age of an angel making a first investment is 48.
• The median angel investment is $25,000.
• The initial investment is higher in regions outside of California, New York, Boston and San Francisco, where it is $32,432.
• 63% of angel investors are based outside those major cities.
