Investopedia explains 'Love Money'

Love money is usually given to entrepreneurs who have proved their responsibility to close family and friends over the years, but who fail to meet the capital requirements that financial institutions look for in borrowers. An angel investor's love money is sometimes the only way a business can get off the ground; this type of financing can allow for growth that would be impossible through traditional financing channels.
