About the Halo Report™

23
What is the Halo Report™?

Angel Group Investment Trends: The Angel Resource Institute, Silicon Valley Bank and
CB Insights set out to raise awareness of early stage investment activities by angel
investment groups. The Halo Report is the result. The research series highlights angel
investment activity and trends in North America and provides much sought after data that
has not been previously available to entrepreneurs or early stage investors.
The Halo Report includes aggregate analysis of investment activity by angels and angel
groups and highlights trends in round sizes, location and industry preferences. The data is
collected via survey and aggregation of public data using CB Insights innovative data
analyses.
Get Involved: Angel groups and individual angel investors interested in including their data
in the Halo Report should contact Sarah Dickey, ARI Vice-President of Research: 913-8944700 and sdickey@angelcapitalassociation.org.

24
Understanding the Data:
Special Round Types and Industry Sectors
The Halo Report™ provides analysis and trends on US angel and angel group activity.
Angels and angel groups invest alone, together, and with many other types of investors.
Unless otherwise noted the Halo Report data includes all rounds that have at least one
angel group participating and may include other types of investors in those rounds.
This report discusses angel group investment trends for 1H 2013, which represents a
total of 379 deals and $461M in total rounds including co-investors.
A few charts report on an “Angel Round,” a special classification of investment when
angel groups invest alone or just with other angels and angel groups.
Unless otherwise noted, values of less than <1% are included, but are not labeled or
noted as a change in activity.
