Too many founders are trying to figure out “the right way to do it” Eg founder mode. I want to love this idea. Except I have no idea what it is.

How to recognize a lead Angel investor: They don't ask “Who else is investing?” They have confidence/time to do their own diligence. They talk about deals where they've played an active role. They offer to intro you to other Angels. #angels #leads

Lots of lessons from the best Angel investment in Canadian history. Mine: Angels should make (bigger) bets on (better) founders. opmwire.com/john-phillips-…

Most Angels are followers (which is ok). You can recognize followers by how they talk about their deals: they emphasize who else is in their deals and name drop prominent investors.

Every dollar counts, but don't call yourself an Angel if you can only invest $5000. Trust me, the startup needs more.
