The past few weeks there have been a lot of discussions around angel investments. Sophia Bendz from Atomico shared some thoughts on angel investments and Sifted recently shared another piece on how to make a smart angel investment. I love reading about others’ experience, and wanted to share some of my own thoughts. A lot of people reach out to me wanting to get into angel investing. My simple recommendation is: don’t do it!
