Angel Investing: Matching Startup Funds with Startup Companies
They deliver more capital to entrepreneurs than any other source. And they often receive an incredible return on their investments. They’re angel investors, some of the most important–and least understood–players in business today. The United States has close to three million angels, whose investments in startups exceed $60 billion per year.

It also shows would-be angels and entrepreneurs how best to find each other.
