About the Halo Report™

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.

A few charts report on an “Angel Round,” a special classification of investment when angel groups invest alone or only with other angels and angel groups.

Unless otherwise noted, values of less than 1% in the industry sectors are included, but are not labeled directly.
