INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Angel investors can be another source for funding a new business.  Matthew Murphy III, Founder of Emboss Partners, talks about what entrepreneurs should do before asking for capital from angel investors.

In a nutshell, a typical angel investor is someone who has started and/or run businesses, have typically been successful in their career. They have also amassed some level of wealth from those endeavors, and they have passion for assisting businesses to grow.
