I think I got the correct answer to my question as I formulated it - 'it gets diluted'. I will accept one of the answers, but would like to wait for some more comments on 'how angels that fund new Facebooks and Googles (very high failure risk) stay interested in funding companies'

Thanks! I am trying to imagine a growth of the capitalization of a startup. If we are talking about the really risky, disruptive, highly innovative investments that are normal for the Valley investors (as far as I want to believe) - then 9 of 10 startups should fail (and this what people say really happens in VC business). The successfull startup should show a growth that covers 9 losses; if capitalization growth is connected with dilution, this growth should be even more incredibly high! Or are angels really risk averse and don't let 9 of their 10 sompanies fail? I need the Valley experience

thanks, I knew that, including that if the shares are bought from the old owners, "the money is not the companies but the old owners". I am sorry but I wanted to know how it happens in practice: how angels stay interested in funding companies, if their shares will be diluted. Because I assume they can't pay for shares the same price as the richer VCs, I thought there should be provisions to make the next round investors buy angel's shares for the new price, or block the deal. I wanted to know if I was right or wrong
