Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An angel investor is a wealthy private individual who invests in new ventures in return for equity in the company. Equity investors can include angel investors, but the term "equity investor" is more general and can also include venture capitalists and other types of investors. New venture managers typically refer to individuals who are managing the new venture, not investing in it. Bankers typically provide loans or other forms of debt financing, not equity investment.
