(PRWEB) April 10, 2008 -- Growthink, the leading investment bank to early stage and emerging companies, announces the release of a new investment report titled "The 9 Secrets of Angel Investing."

Growthink's report provides key advice for making profitable "angel" investments in early stage private companies.

According to Growthink, angel investing can produce stratospheric returns on investment. The report cites the famous example of Google's first private investor, Andy Bechtolsheim, who wrote a $100,000 check to Google in 1998 when it was an early stage company. As of April 2008, Bechtolsheim's $100,000 check is worth approximately $1.5 billion dollars.

Growthink, citing 20 years of data collected by Thomson Financial, asserts that early and seed stage investing has over the long-term, outperformed all other investment classes -- with average annual returns of over 20.6%.

Growthink's report is based on firm's decade of experience advising more than 1,000 early stage companies. Jay Turo, Growthink's CEO explained, "We have worked hard to identify the key factors that separate both the successful growth company from the unsuccessful, and correspondingly the successful investors in these companies."

Growthink's report provides an overview of angel investing, including its benefits and risks, and key advice for successfully investing in early stage private companies.
