Angel Investment Trends in Global Markets, This week

Here is a summary of the angel investors involved in the most recent funding rounds for the companies discussed:

Shanghai Fangqing Technology (China)

The angel round was led and participated in by a mix of corporate and early-stage investment organizations:

  • Xiaomi Strategic Investment Department (also via Hanxing Venture Capital, a Xiaomi affiliate)
  • NIO Capital
  • Shanghai Lingang Science and Technology Innovation Investment
  • 37 Interactive Entertainment (joined in later rounds)
  • Mingshi Capital (in the July 2025 round)

Hanxing Venture Capital (part of Xiaomi) is a significant angel investor in this round, holding a notable equity stake after its early entry.

JECO (UK)

The following angel groups and programs led or participated in the company’s £960,000 ($1.3 million) round:

  • Games Angels (an angel syndicate group, with Nick Button-Brown, Founder of Games Angels, identified as the lead investor)
  • British Business Bank (participated via its Regional Angels Programme, making this its first co-investment under the scheme)
  • Haatch Ventures (managed the co-investment fund for British Business Bank)
  • Additional support: Innovate UK and Creative UK’s Creative Enterprise Programme (though these are not strictly angel investors, they contributed to the round)

The round was organized by Games Angels as lead, with British Business Bank’s Regional Angels Programme as a cornerstone participant.

Note: Individual angel names (other than Nick Button-Brown for JECO) are not disclosed in public reporting for either company. Most of the named entities are institutional investors, angel syndicates, or investment branches of large organizations.

What sectors are most active in recent angel investments

The most active sectors in recent angel investments, particularly during 2025, are:

  • HealthTech and Healthcare: This sector is the top area of interest for angel investors, with a focus on innovations in telemedicine, biotech, mental health, and health tech solutions.
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI-driven startups are highly attractive, leading in both volume and growth. This includes applications in automation, data analytics, machine learning, and related technology advancements.
  • FinTech: Startups specializing in financial technology, such as digital payments, blockchain solutions, and personal finance management, continue to see strong angel interest.
  • Sustainability and ClimateTech: Investments in clean energy, green technologies, and startups addressing sustainability and environmental concerns are growing, reflecting investors’ increased focus on impact investing.
  • EdTech: With the rise of online learning and remote education, education technology startups are attracting more angel funding, especially those leveraging AI and new learning platforms.
  • Gaming: Mobile gaming and interactive entertainment startups have experienced a significant boost in angel investments.
  • Cybersecurity: As digital threats escalate, startups offering advanced cybersecurity solutions have seen a notable increase in funding.
  • Agritech: Innovations in food sustainability and precision agriculture are drawing growing interest in the sector.
  • Real Estate Tech (PropTech): Startups developing solutions for property management, real estate transactions, and smart home tech are recent favorites among angels.

According to recent surveys and funding reports, technology—including both software and deep tech—remains the overarching theme, with particular excitement for fields that overlap (e.g., AI in healthcare or fintech). Impact-oriented startups (e.g., climate, sustainability, social well-being) are also seeing a surge in early-stage investment activity.
