English term or phrase: angel investor
Definition from VentureLine:
Angel investor is a private wealthy individual that has no association with a venture capital firm, investment fund, etc. The "angel" invests his/her private money into what he/she believes to be promising opportunities, i.e., normally startup companies. Sometimes two or more "angels" will jointly invest into opportunities to spread the risk.

Example sentence(s):
  • Investors seeking a more active role may ask for common equity. This enables the angel to take a place on the board of directors and allows for much more active participation in company management. An arrangement such as this works well for angel investors who are keenly interested in hands-on involvement in the business. Business Management Daily
  • Angel investors are typically retired professionals that are looking to give young entrepreneurs some funding. It just kind of implies that they are nicer than regular investors. There are network sites that try to put people into contact with angel investors. theangelinvestorsite.com
  • I am purchasing a business and expanding it. I have found an angel investor and I need to know what forms and documents need to be written and what needs to be filed. Entrepreneur

àngel inversor


Definition from Termcat:
Persona física o jurídica que inverteix capital de risc en una empresa, en la qual participa com a accionista i assessor.

Example sentence(s):
  • La figura de l'inversor privat o àngel inversor està adquirint una creixent importància per tal de superar la situació de manca de recursos financers de les empreses en fases inicials que hi ha a Europa. - Diari Oficial Generalitat de Catalunya  
  • La Direcció General de Política de la Pime està preparant un programa de suport a les xarxes d'àngels inversors (Business Angels) com una de les estratègies més eficaces per promoure la creació d'empreses amb un potencial elevat de creixement. - IPYME  
  • A Catalunya, la cultura dels àngels inversors ha crescut d’uns anys ençà. Amb el suport del Cidem, s’han creat xarxes d’àngels inversors entorn d’algunes grans escoles de negocis (com IESE o ESADE), alguns grups d’empresaris (com la xarxa BANC o el Keiretsu Forum) i, finalment, la més tecnològica de totes, la xarxa UNIBA, promoguda per cinc universitats catalanes: UAB, UB, UdG, UPC i Parc d’Innovació La Salle. - Dossier Econòmic  

Explanation:
Com podeu veure en el primer exemple, "àngel inversor" es pot alternar amb les formes "inversor privat" o "inversor particular".


Què és un àngel inversor o inversor particular?

Es tracta de persones físiques amb un ampli coneixement de determinats sectors i amb capacitat d'inversió, que impulsen el desenvolupament de projectes empresarials amb un potencial elevat de creixement en les seves primeres etapes de vida, aportant capital i valor afegit a la gestió. Els àngels inversors es diferencien dels inversors tradicionals i del capital risc en la seva implicació en la gestió de l'empresa.
