Padrino inversor o empresarial y mentor empresarial son alternativas adecuadas en español para sustituir a los anglicismos innecesarios "business angel" o "angel investor". Aunque también se están empleando giros como inversor privado, inversor informal, inversor providencial o inversor de proximidad, se recomienda optar por padrino inversor o mentor empresarial por considerarse estas opciones más fieles al concepto que subyace en la expresión inglesa. 3, record 1, Spanish, - %C3%A1ngel%20inversor

Dado que esta figura está reservada a personas físicas, cabe indicar que, si se trata de una mujer, lo apropiado sería hablar de madrina inversora, no padrina inversora. [...] esta figura no solo invierte su dinero en proyectos de riesgo con la esperanza de obtener retornos cuantiosos e incentivos fiscales, sino que se convierte en el padrino de tales proyectos, esto es, en su "valedor", gracias a sus conocimientos en el sector, entre otras aportaciones. 3, record 1, Spanish, - %C3%A1ngel%20inversor
