Transcript

So here are the top angel investors. Forget theory. For the last five years, those have been the angel investors that have been the most active at writing checks for early stage startups. This list is actually compiled by data from Crunchbase and it actually has been tracking all these angel investors for the past 5 years. One thing that is very interesting is that Edoir Lando has almost doubled the amount of investments as the second one uh which is Nalaf. The next thing to keep in mind is that most of the operators are the ones that lead the pack. I mean, you see people like Door Dash, Founder, and other founders in that regard that are actually using this as a way to give back to the venture world. The bottom line is that founders are funding other founders. And as you can see on this list, over 75% of those angels are actually former founders or super successfully exited founders. If

you're raising money, this is obviously your list. And if you're raising money too, take a look at startupf fundraising.com and supercharge your rates with AI.
