"Pioneering Angel Investor Backs Startups with $1m" is an article from one of my sources talked about in my literature review.  It is an explanatory article of a particular angel investor and his investments.

This article is an exemplary resource that describes the characteristic of an angel investor.  The article is in third person and seems to be quite professional.  However, most of the article is data heavy, talking about the amount of money invested, or reason heavy, explaining why the investor invested in specific companies.  

The article might seem pretty cold, since there is not much of opinions, rather than stating facts about a specific angel investor.  There is a conglomeration of different opinions, however.  Although the author does not state his own side, there are different quotes from people talking about the angel and their opinions.  These quotations do not seem to be “proving” any facts.  In fact, the author is solely laying these quotes out in order to portray the man’s characteristics in all different types of modes. 

Compared to different articles, this particular article is quite short and concise.  It does not use extraneous words, and tries to keep all things short and powerful.  The data is laid out in simple manner and so it is not hard to follow the article.  There is a quick background given on the company being invested (for better understanding) at the start of the article.  However, even this background information only emphasizes the main important factors in just a few sentences.


I believe that this article shows the best of the conventions of an angel investor for these reasons.
