H LO Report TM Annual Report on Angel Investments AGGREGATED NATIONAL REGIONAL DATA The HALO ReportTM is a collaborative effort of the Angel Resource InstituteTM, Florida Atlantic University, and PitchbookTM intended to raise awareness of early stage investment activities highlighting trends that may inform our decisions and impact opportunities for angels and entrepreneurs.

Angel Group Update: Halo Report Annual Highlights Trends WHAT ANGELS NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHEN WRITING CHECKS REPORTED DATA ON DEAL ACTIVITY has once again increased, and ARI has focused more directly on investments from angel groups, and on investments in rounds not exceeding $. Out of a total of 3,617 deals in our database, 3,388 deals are less than $ in round size. However, to be consistent with our 216 report, we narrowed our focus to only angel group activity. Worth noting is that there are 1,499 individual angel investors doing deals outside of groups. Since this individual activity continues to increase, moving forward ARI intends to study individual angel investment activity as well, as it is clearly a significant influence on the early-stage investment landscape. WIDESPREAD INVESTMENT throughout the United States is clear in this year s report. California continues to yield the most deals representing 2.61% of all deals. Deals continue to be more widespread geographically in, with particularly large increases in the percentage of deals in Texas (8.66%), the Southwest (9.83%) and the Southeast (13.44%). Also of particular note is the influence of Texas on other regions, in particular California. We note that the Houston Angel Network ranked in the top number of deals in in the California region, while Central Texas Angel Network is also ranked in the top 12 in the country. Don t mess with Texas! NEW INDUSTRY TRENDS are also evident in the data. As might be expected software continues to be the most highly invested in industry sector (26.75%), but this is down from 34.3% in 216; healthcare also represents a large proportion of deals as expected, down slightly from 17.3% to 15.45%. But there is considerable reduction in investments in internet and mobile during, shifting from 11.2% to only 4.48% of deals. Conversely, there was a substantial increase in deals reported in the consumer products and services sectors. In fact, activity in the sector reportedly doubled from 1.3% to 2.86% thereby surpassing healthcare as the second most active sector for. NEW DEALS were an explicit focus of angel deals reported in. Nearly 9 of deals reported in were classified as new deals while only a mere 1.92% of deals captured represented follow-on investments. captured more early stage deals and first time investments than in prior years, but still this is a notable shift over 216. WOMEN FOUNDERS factored in considerably more deals than in prior years. In 216, only 17% of deals involved females as part of a founding team. In, 25.7% of all deals went to a founding team with a female founder. Founding teams consisting of only male founders represented only 74.3%, a 3

Angel Group Update: Halo Report Annual Highlights Trends Continued reduction from 83% in 216. Minority female founder participation also increased considerably from near 1% to 5.5%. Again, we now want to review female CEO s vs male CEO s to understand the leadership impact, not just founder status. But this is again, a significant increase, and we are pleased to see and to be tracking diverse teams in gender and ethnicity. yielded an average of $522K and a median angel investment amount of $2K, suggesting that syndication continues with 28 deals and also that in often angel funds filled out a significant proportion of reported deals. fund a deal and/or requires closer relationships with venture funds, family offices, platforms, and individual investors in order to round up sufficient funds to close a deal. DEAL STRUCTURE appears to remain relatively stable year over year with 33.8% of deals structured as traditional convertible notes and 62.3% structured as preferred stock, with only 3.9% of all deals structured as SAFE notes, KISS documents, non-mandatory convertible debt, or via other instruments. REGIONAL INVESTING continues to be important to angel groups in order to increase deal flow and portfolio diversification. The region in the US where we see the least outflow of capital is the Northeast where 77% of deals funded by local angel groups stay within But even this has decreased over 216, when this regional number was 93%. While angels classically prefer to stay close to home, these trends of reaching beyond one s own region are noteworthy. PRE-MONEY VALUATION. Pre-money valuations are down slightly from $3.65M to $3.5M year over year. We see many angel groups continue to negotiate better terms. Also angels are doing a lot of smaller first round investments. Increasing valuation trends are strongest in the Southeast and in Texas, while California, usually historically much higher than other regions, is potentially softening. did show significantly fewer follow-on deals than first-time investments in new portfolio companies. DEAL SIZE reported for was an average of $637K whereas the median deal size was only $27K. This is consistent with our seeing more early stage deals and first time investments. Strictly angel investments SYNDICATION continues to be a trend with 28 deals that angel groups shop around in order to complete deals and provide enough capital to budding entrepreneurs. This means it takes multiple angel groups to RACE AND GENDER DIVERSIFICATION. Deals with fe as sole founders represented 13% of angel-funded deals in. But female entrepreneur founder teams that included 3 4

Angel Group Update: Halo Report Annual Highlights Trends Continued represented another 13%. Thus, male-only founding teams dropped from 83% in 216 to 74% in. CONVERTIBLE NOTES. One surprising finding is that convertible notes are being used more and more by angel investors for their first-time investments in new portfolio companies. This could be a function of lower valuations or an inability of investors and entrepreneurs to determine the right pre-money valuation and terms required to close their deal. We suspect there may be more SAFE s and KISS s deployed than had been reported, given the inclusion of 5 Startups and Y Combinator, each of whom respectively has their own class of convertible notes; however, these were reported as generic convertible notes for the most part. INCUBATORS AND ACCELERATORS. Also of note is the influence of incubators and accelerators. Y Combinator (YC) was very active and tends to invest at a very early stage. Since YC is not an angel group, we excluded YC from median valuation calculations, since its inclusion distorts median valuation for angel investors (who typically invest months after the intial investment by YC has been made). Again, we appreciate their participation and spot the opportunity to delve more deeply into the role of incubators and accelerators across the ecosystem. We did include YC in the total number of deals, and as with other variables, and we made note where their impact was most significant. Data Validation Methodology for HALO ReportTM Angels and angel groups invest alone, together, and with many other types of investors. Unless otherwise noted, the HALO ReportTM data includes funding rounds that have at least one angel group participating and may include other types of investors in those rounds. Note that Median Angel Group Investment is the median size of reported investments made by Angel groups in the reported deals. There are many groups that have the capability of making significantly higher investments; however, the data showed that many of these groups also invested smaller amounts of capital. It is important to note that the Median Funding Round Size includes investments from Angel groups and non-angel groups including venture capital funds and family offices. This report discusses angel group investment trends for, representing a total of 3,388 deals and $2 billion (excluding duplicates) in total round size (total dollars deployed in those deals), including co-investors. Those first-time investments with a round size greater than $4 million were excluded from this report to avoid skewing the data. Data was sourced directly from angel groups through the Angel Resource Institute s data portal (www.arihaloreport.com), via email, from direct conversations with group leaders or their administrators, and/or via Pitchbook.

GLOBAL TRENDS The 113 deals reported to ARI in that are investments in ventures based outside of the U.S., came from the following countries: The locations of deals reported to ARI this year spanned the globe. Without actively soliciting data from other countries, we received information on over 113 deals that were closed in ventures located outside of the US, in 31 different countries. Most of this investment activity was closed by North America-based angels, rather than in-country investors. Stay tuned for more information on international investing trends, as investors from the US track opportunities in other parts of the globe. Of particular note is Canada, Australia, Israel, and the UK. 3 18
