It is a form of venture capital investment with the difference being that angels invest much earlier in the business growth where the risk is much higher and do not take as big a piece of the business in exchange for their investment.
They act like "angels" instead of "vultures."

I believe an Angel investor is someone who provides start up capital for new businesses in exchange for an equity stake in the new firm.

It is someone that comes into a distressed business and lends money to keep them going a little longer. It saves them from going under.
