To effectively promote the culture of innovation and creativity, it is very important that all segments of society play their role in supporting activities geared towards the creation of a knowledge-based economy. Angel investors are a very vital building block to support the establishment of innovative startups. Angel investors provide capital for a business at an early stage when traditional financial institutions are hesitant to support them due to high risk.
