English term or phrase: angel investor
Definition from VentureLine:
Angel investor is a private wealthy individual that has no association with a venture capital firm, investment fund, etc. The "angel" invests his/her private money into what he/she believes to be promising opportunities, i.e., normally startup companies. Sometimes two or more "angels" will jointly invest into opportunities to spread the risk.

Example sentence(s):
  • Investors seeking a more active role may ask for common equity. This enables the angel to take a place on the board of directors and allows for much more active participation in company management. An arrangement such as this works well for angel investors who are keenly interested in hands-on involvement in the business. Business Management Daily
  • Angel investors are typically retired professionals that are looking to give young entrepreneurs some funding. It just kind of implies that they are nicer than regular investors. There are network sites that try to put people into contact with angel investors. theangelinvestorsite.com
  • I am purchasing a business and expanding it. I have found an angel investor and I need to know what forms and documents need to be written and what needs to be filed. Entrepreneur

Definition from Svenska riskkapitalföreningen:
En affärsängel kan definieras som en privatperson som investerar kapital i och tillför affärsmässig kunskap till onoterade företag med tillväxtpotential. Affärsängeln är oftast en person med erfarenhet och kunskap av företagande som genom att tillföra kapital, kompetens, engagemang och sitt nätverk hjälper företag att utvecklas.

Example sentence(s):
  • Det är av naturliga skäl svårt att få fram tillförlitlig statistik över hur många och stora affärsängelinvesteringar som görs varje år, men man kan anta att det rör sig om cirka 2 miljarder kronor om året, dvs ungefär hälften av venture capital-företagens nivå. Antalet aktiva affärsänglar uppskattas ligga någonstans mellan 3000 och 5000. - Svenska riskkapitalföreningen  
  • Privatpersoner satsar varje år upp emot tre miljarder kronor i teknikföretag som är så färska att inte ens riskkapitalet vågar sig dit. De kallas affärsänglar. - IDG.se  
  • I länet finns ett 30-50 personer som är mer eller mindre vana att investera i andras företag och engagera sig i verksamheten. Affärsängelsprojektet är ett försök att synliggöra affärsänglarnas insats och skapa kontaktvägar mellan företag och investerare. - Västernorrlands affärsängelsnätverk
