Angel investment is important for startups when they are in between the seed-stage and the early-stage because they need funds to grow rapidly. Angel investors, in addition to providing capital, normally function as strategic partners who provide capacity building, management knowledge and mentorship for startups. Angel investors accordingly benefit startups in many different ways, including the provision of funds. Vietnam is ranked third in Southeast Asia in terms of the number of active startups, most of which are in an early stage and therefore in need of funds from angel investors. The paper examines the concept of angel investment and the determinants that impact angel investors’ decisions. The paper then recommends implications so as to help build a mechanism to develop domestic angel investment activities and attract foreign angel investment into Vietnam.

At the time of an initial public offering, shares in a firm are typically held by venture capitalists, insiders, corporate investors and angel investors. We examine the role of angel investors in the IPO process. We find that angel investors provide equity capital in industries venture capitalists are less likely to serve and that shareholders in angel backed IPO firms are more likely to sell their shares at the time of the offering. Where venture capital backed IPO firms have higher underpricing, angel backed IPO firms do not, implying that angels may be the preferred investors for early-stage firms.
