Here is an angel investors list for entrepreneurs to kickstart new business towards accelerated growth –

The startup revolution took shape in India in 2008. It didn’t happen overnight and developed gradually over a period. And in recent times, it is evolving by leaps and bounds as the Indian startup ecosystem has witnessed a spike from 50 angel investors a decade back to more than 2,000+ angel investors in around 2019 onwards.

You might have laid the foundation of your dream and raising funds from family, friends or savings but you must push your dreams further and accelerate your business growth by seeking funding as cash flow crunch or capital issues hinder many business expansions. There are various sets of investors, popularly known as Angel Investors, who are looking out at opportunities to invest in budding businesses.

Angel investors can be from any professional background whose single motive is the startup’s success and not only its profits. They take up the mentorship role and are extensively passionate about the entire course of the business journey.
