Why You Should Consider Becoming an Angel Investor

If you have a little money lying around, and are looking for investment opportunities that offer a medium to long term investment, and you are not too risk averse, then the opportunity to become an angel investor might just be for you. Now, it may seem crazy to even consider investing your money in a start up business. Until you consider that both Google and Microsoft, two of the world's biggest companies, were funded with small investments from angels. That sounds much better, doesn't it? When you become an angel, there's a good chance that instead of getting immediate repayment, you will receive an equity stake in the company you invest in. However, if or when the company makes it big, that e quity stake could be worth a lot of money.
