It is possible that the level of investment activity in 2003 is inflated because statistics for Beer and Partners may include some investments in which angels were excluded. A general circular from the firm reported 25 investments amounting to £7.2 million. 3. In some cases where the investment was made by a syndicate the BAN was unaware of the actual number of investors involved. Consequently this statistic is under-stated for 2001, 2002 and 2003. 4. As noted in the text, many BANs are unaware of whether the firm has raised finance from other sources at the same time as receiving angel funding. In some cases the BAN is aware that other funders are involved but do not know the amounts involved. These statistics therefore a significant under-estimate of the overall deal sizes. 4.
