The Q2 2013 Halo Report shows angel investment round sizes dipped up to a median of $590K per deal, pre-money valuations remain stable at $2.5 million and 74% of angel group deals are syndicated. When angel groups co-invest with other types of investors, the media round size goes up to $1.95M. US angel investment continues to be dispersed nationwide.

The sectors getting funding remain concentrated in Internet, healthcare and mobile, with 71% of completed Q2 deals and 79% of Q2 dollars in these categories.

25. 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.
This report discusses angel group investment trends for 1H 2013, which represents a
total of 379 deals and $461M in total rounds including co-investors.
A few charts report on an “Angel Round,” a special classification of investment when
angel groups invest alone or just with other angels and angel groups.
Unless otherwise noted, values of less than <1% are included, but are not labeled or
noted as a change in activity.
