What is an Angel Investor?

Angel investors are usually wealthy individuals or business people who make high-risk, potentially high-yield investments in start-up companies or small businesses who are looking to expand their market opportunities. 

Angel investors typically focus on companies that have already developed a basic concept and business strategy, and are in the seed stage of investment.  An emphasis is placed on business enterprises with the potential for rapid growth.  In addition to offering significant capital to launch business entities, many angel investors also offer their business expertise and actively participate in the management, operation, and marketing of the business.

NorthStar President and Founder David J. Ward is an angel investor in Origin Investment Group, a Wisconsin angel investing group operated out of the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse.
