"[The] investors who could provide financing and coaching of young companies"

Hello,


... so-called angel investors who could provide financing and coaching of young companies.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/08/technology/start-ups/08google.html

The preposition of bothers me for a while.

Does the relative clause mean the same as
"... who could provide financing and coaching for/to young companies"?

Emotion: hmm

Yes. 'Of' is a commoner choice here among non-native speakers, who rely on this preposition more than do native speakers.
