the start-up and early stages of new ventures. However, our

reflected in the book with an assessment of the most common support
schemes. Adopting an international focus, the expert group of
contributors examine business angels themselves; the evolution of
the market; the various stages of the investment process and the
role of public policy in influencing angel investment. They each
conclude their chapters with an agenda for future research on
business angels. Students and scholars of entrepreneurship,
entrepreneurial finance, and related subjects will find this book
to be an invaluable resource to their work.In particular, they will
benefit from the research agendas that that concludes each chapter
