Often the hardest capital to raise is in the early stages of a business, especially if you are a founder that doesn’t have a network of wealthy friends and family to tap - this is where wellness and beauty angel investors come into the equation. According to PitchBook and the National Venture Capital Association more than 3,000 new angel investors are projected to make their first deal this year, up from 2,725 last year with the amount of money angels are investing into start-ups reaching $2.1 billion in the first half of this year, compared with $2.6 billion for all of 2020.
