About the Halo Report™
Support the American Angel Campaign!
As proud supporters of angel investor research, the Angel Resource
Institute and Pitchbook encourage all angel investors to participate
in The American Angel campaign, a ground-breaking, comprehensive
study that will benchmark the mix of angel investors across America by
age, sex, ethnicity and pinpoint any commonalities such as the path that
got them there or trends such as how they discover and fund early-stage
companies. The campaign is a partnership between the Angel Capital
Association and Wharton Entrepreneurship. Angel investors who are
interested in participating in the study may sign up to do the survey at
www.TheAmericanAngel.org.
Understanding the Data:
Special Round Types and Industry Sectors
The HALO Report™ provides analysis and trends on US angel and angel group activity.
Angels and angel groups invest alone, together, and with many other types of investors. Unless
otherwise noted the HALO Report™ data includes all rounds that have at least one angel group
participating and may include other types of investors in those rounds.
A few charts report on an “Angel Round,” a special classification of investment when angel
groups invest alone or only with other angels and angel groups.
Unless otherwise noted, values of less than 1% in the industry sectors are included, but are not
labeled directly.
