Special Round Types and Industry Sectors
The Halo Report™ provides analysis and trends on US angel and angel group activity.
Angels and angel groups invest alone, together, and with many other types of investors.
Unless otherwise noted the Halo Report data includes all rounds that have at least one
angel group participating and may include other types of investors in those rounds.
This report discusses angel group investment trends for Q1 2013, which represents a
total of 207 deals and $222M in total rounds including co-investors.
A few charts report on an “Angel Round,” a special classification of investment when
angel groups invest alone or just with other angels and angel groups.
Unless otherwise noted, values of less than <1% are included, but are not labeled or
noted as a change in activity.
