The 100 Most Active Angel Investors (2025–2026)
Alexis Ohanian Sr. (37 deals), John Luttig (37) and Delian Asparouhov (35) top the list. These are the individual investors who appear on the most funding rounds in AngelBacked's dataset between January 2025 and July 2026, from 37 deals at the top down to 16 at rank 100. They are drawn from 6,450 angels active across 4,564 rounds.
What a “deal” means here. A deal is one funding round announced between January 2025 and July 2026 where this investor appears among the backers listed in AngelBacked’s funding dataset. Each round lists up to six angels, so an investor can be a participant in a round rather than its lead. These counts are not an investor’s total investment activity: rounds where they were not named, undisclosed deals, fund commitments, and secondaries are all invisible to this metric.

Quarter by quarter
The same ranking, cut to a single quarter — the top 50 angels by deals recorded in each three-month window.
Methodology
Investors are ranked by the number of distinct funding rounds in AngelBacked’s dataset that list them among the backers, covering rounds announced from January 2025 through July 2026. July 2026 is still filling in, so the most recent deals may not yet be reflected. Ties are broken arbitrarily and share a deal count, so ranks within a tie are not meaningful. Recent companies show up to six of the investor’s most recent rounds in the window. The ranking rebuilds daily; it was last updated August 2026.
Where these numbers come from
The same dataset powers our funding feed and our market report — round sizes, stage medians, sectors, and angel participation.
