Investor Onboarding Process

Phase 1 — Investor Onboarding

Before participating in the marketplace, investors must complete three steps:

verification, classification, and wallet setup.

1. Create an Account

Sign up with:

• Full name

• Email and password

• Country of residence

• Investor type (Angel / HNWI / Professional)

2. Identity & Compliance Verification

TheAngel conducts regulated KYC/AML checks to ensure investor eligibility and platform integrity.

Required documents:

• Government ID

• Proof of address

• Source of funds (high investment amounts only)

This protects both investors and founders from compliance risk.

3. Investor Categorisation

Based on your profile, TheAngel categorises you as:

• Retail investor (with limits)

• Qualified angel investor

• High-net-worth individual (HNWI)

• Institutional or professional investor

Each category determines investment limits and access to certain offerings.

4. Wallet Activation

The platform automatically generates a secure, custodial or self-custodial wallet (depending on jurisdiction).

Wallet capabilities:

• Store tokenised equity

• Hold stablecoins (if applicable)

• Execute trades

• Receive rewards or updates

TheAngel uses institutional-grade multi-signature infrastructure for security.
