Angel Groups: Developing a Regional Economic Development Strategy for Robust Seed Capital Ecosystems for Entrepreneurs
The purpose of this paper is to identify the link between the success of angel organizational structures and the economic footprint within which angel groups operate; ultimately suggesting a novel approach of assisting traditional angel group structures in their operations and entrepreneurs in the process of securing early stage financing. Given the varied angel group structures that exist, some angel portals may be more appropriate for certain regions than others. In-depth field research was developed and analyzed by creating the first undergraduate student-run angel investment fund, to co-invest with investors in the informal venture capital market, in the United States. The research presented in this paper will provide economic planners, educational leaders, and interested students with a potential guideline of how best to organize angel investors within their respective regions, ultimately building local investment capacity that will benefit state economies by creating better financing opportunities for entrepreneurs
The angel wins
The angel-devil game is played on an infinite two-dimensional ``chessboard''.
The squares of the board are all white at the beginning. The players called
angel and devil take turns in their steps. When it is the devil's turn, he can
turn a square black. The angel always stays on a white square, and when it is
her turn she can fly at a distance of at most J steps (each of which can be
horizontal, vertical or diagonal) to a new white square. Here J is a constant.
The devil wins if the angel does not find any more white squares to land on.
The result of the paper is that if J is sufficiently large then the angel has a
strategy such that the devil will never capture her. This deceptively
easy-sounding result has been a conjecture, surprisingly, for about thirty
years. Several other independent solutions have appeared simultaneously, some
of them prove that J=2 is sufficient (see the Wikipedia on the angel problem).
Still, it is hoped that the hierarchical solution presented here may prove
useful for some generalizations.Comment: 28 pages, 8 figure
Business angels
Business angels are conventionally defined as high net worth individuals who invest their own money, along with their time and expertise, directly in unquoted companies in which they have no family connection, in the hope of financial gain. The term angel was coined by Broadway insiders in the early 1900s to describe wealthy theatre-goers who made high risk investments in theatrical productions. Angels invested in these shows primarily for the privilege of rubbing shoulders with the theatre personalities that they admired. The term business angel was given to those individuals who perform essentially the same function in a business context (Benjamin and Margulis, 2000: 5). There is a long tradition of angel investing in businesses (Sohl, 2003). Moreover, angel investing is now an international phenomenon, found in all developed economies and now diffusing to emerging economies such as China (Lui Tingchi, and Chen Po Chang,, 2007). However, it has only attracted the attention of researchers since the 1980s

Response and Responsibility - Chapter 1 of The Feeling Intellect: Reading the Bible with C.S. Lewis
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin\u27s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you. But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David ... Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I am a virgin? The angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called the Son of God. And now your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God:\u27 Then Mary said, Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word:\u27 Then the angel departed from her (Luke 1:26-38)
