Where to find angel investors in 2026
Angel investing is the most accessible source of early capital for startup founders. Globally, individual angels write roughly $50 billion of seed and pre-seed checks per year — more than the entire institutional pre-seed VC market. They move faster than funds, take smaller stakes, and often bring the operating expertise founders need at the earliest stage.
The challenge is that angel investors are not evenly distributed. Silicon Valley still hosts roughly a third of all active US angels, but the second and third biggest markets — London and Singapore — have completely different sector preferences and check-size norms. A pitch tuned for a Bay Area angel will land badly with a Mumbai or Lagos angel. The guides below break down what to expect in each market: who is actively writing checks today, what their stage and sector focus looks like, and how to get a warm introduction.
