Yes, angel investors can get their money back. They may receive their investment back in the form of cash or equity in the company, depending on the initial investment agreement.
In most cases, angel investors will receive a return on their investment either when the company is sold and the investors receive the capital from their stake in the company, or when the company issues dividends and the investor receives a portion of the profits. Alternatively, angel investors may choose to sell their stake in the company at an increased value to a third party.
When it comes to returns on investment, angel investors who put money into an early-stage startup may not receive a return on their investment for several years, as the company needs time to become profitable before they can begin issuing dividends or see a return on their initial investment. On the flipside, larger, more established companies that receive angel investment may be able to generate returns sooner, depending on their performance.
