What is an angel investor?
An angel investor is a high-net-worth individual who invests their own money into early-stage startups in exchange for equity, typically at the pre-seed or seed stage. Unlike venture capital firms — which manage pooled money from limited partners — angel investors write smaller cheques (usually $10K–$500K) and move faster, often deciding within a single meeting.
Angels often invest in industries where they have operating experience, and many bring more than capital: introductions to customers, hiring help, follow-on funding from their VC network, and product feedback. The best angel rounds combine 5–15 angels with complementary expertise, alongside one lead.

How does Datapile work?
Datapile is a searchable database that connects founders directly with investors. Three steps:
- Search — filter 100,000+ investor profiles by country, city, industry, stage (pre-seed through Series C+), check size, and role (Partner, Principal, Angel, Family Office).
- Build a target list — save investors that match your thesis, see their portfolio companies, and review their historical investment activity to pre-qualify fit before you reach out.
- Reach out — every profile includes a verified email and LinkedIn URL. Export to CSV or run a sequence through the built-in outreach tool, with automated follow-ups and reply tracking.
Contacts are re-verified at least once every 90 days, which is why deliverability stays above 95%. New funding rounds and investor moves are tracked daily in Funding News, and our Fundraising Glossary explains every term you'll encounter — from SAFEs to liquidation preferences.
Pricing starts at $49/month with a 7-day money-back guarantee, no per-seat fees, and unlimited CSV exports on all paid plans. See pricing for details.
