angel investor

Description

An angel investor is one who bestows the wings of capital upon a founder’s fervent dream. Yet those wings are bound by chains called contracts, and freedom is lost as payment. While cloaked in goodwill, ruthless return calculations churn in the background. Behind the light of funding lurks the shadow of exacting repayment. What remains in the end is a ledger called reality.
