TYPES OF ANGEL INVESTORS:-
Angel investors can be classified into five basic groups:
Corporate Angels:
Typically so-called corporate angels are senior managers at Fortune 1000 corporations who have been laid off with generous severances or have taken early retirement.
Entrepreneurial Angels:
The most prevalent type of investors, most of these individuals own and operate highly-successful businesses.
Enthusiast Angels:
Whereas entrepreneurial angels tend to be somewhat calculating, enthusiasts simply like to be involved in deals.
Micromanagement Angels:
Micro managers are very serious investors. Some of them were born wealthy, but the vast majority attained wealth through their own efforts. Unfortunately, this heritage makes them dangerous. Because most have successfully built a company, micro managers tend to impose the tactics that worked for them on their portfolio companies.
Professional Angels:
The term "professional" in this context refers to the investor's occupation such as doctor , lawyer and in some very rare instances, accountant. Professional angels like to invest in companies that offer a product or service with which they have some experience.

They rarely seek a broad seat but they can be unpleasant to deal with when the going gets rough and may believe that the company is in trouble before it actually is.
