The Angel Capital Association Releases 2024 Angel Funders Report  

The Angel Capital Association (ACA) has released the Angel Funders Report for 2024. Published annually, the goal of the report is to increase awareness about angel investor activity and build a deeper understanding of the investing environment. The report provides context for seemingly disparate data points, identifies trends and highlights innovative ways that ACA members are working together to fuel the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

“The AFR continues to be the definitive benchmark of angel investing in North America. More than 60 angel groups provided key data elements on their 2023 investments and outcomes, which has allowed the ACA to analyze this data and prepare key findings in 2023.The report explores key trends compared to prior years and provides new insights into angel investing as an asset class. We thank the angel groups who did the hard work of collecting the data, and the team of volunteers that did the analysis and wrote the report,” said John Harbison, Chair of the ACA Data Analytics Committee, and one of the lead authors.”

The ACA dedicates the incredible time and resources necessary to the project in order to bring out the science of angel investing to drive better outcomes. It’s supported in large part by the Angel Investor Foundation.

“The release of the 2024 Angel Funders Report marks yet another step forward in our mission to provide the most reliable and comprehensive insights into the dynamic world of angel investing. This year’s expanded dataset not only deepens our understanding of emerging trends but also reinforces the accuracy of previous analyses, solidifying the AFR as the definitive resource for both angel investors and entrepreneurs. By offering a richer and more nuanced perspective each year, we empower stakeholders to make informed decisions that fuel innovation and economic growth,” said Pat Gouhin, CEO of the Angel Capital Association.

The Angel Funders Report is based on direct investment data solicited from ACA member groups. The organization collects data directly from a broad spectrum of angel investors, including leading angel groups across North America, and the resulting report provides powerful first-hand information on the current state of early-stage investing. ACA angel investing experts analyze and enhance the data with their knowledge of trends and best practices, developing a comprehensive insider’s view to share with the broader investment community. The angel organizations that provide the information for the report take many forms—groups of ACA members, angel networks, angel funds, networks with sidecar funds and more.
