Glossary - Super Angel
A Super Angel is an individual investor who provides capital for start-ups, often with amounts larger than a typical angel investor but not as large as venture capital firms. Unlike traditional angel investors, Super Angels often operate more professionally, with a more aggressive investment strategy, and may have a fund from which they invest. They typically participate in early-stage financing rounds and may offer mentorship and strategic advice to the company founders in addition to financial support.
