Lots of people ask me, ‘How do I find angel investors?’ I don’t have a great answer, but perhaps I can help some of you think about who angels are and as a result perhaps you will be able to find them more easily. To start, I think it is important to classify angels in a few classes:
* Type 1: Novice angels with financial objectives
* Type 2: Experienced angels with financial objectives
* Type 3: Novice angels with subject matter expertise
* Type 4: Experienced angels with subject matter expertise
* Type 5: Family, friends and colleagues
