All Things Angel Investing #7
Intangible Angel Weekly: Coffee, Virtual Webinars, Debut Capital
Angel groups sometimes get a bad rap. They are also easy targets as they tend to be groups of older, wealthier white men constantly saying no to founders. Angel groups typically evaluate deal flow as group and then choose whether or not to invest as a group, or on an individual basis. Over the years there have been a lot of bad practices, such as charging founders for pitches (call these folks out!). At Intangible Angel we refer to ourselves as a community, or member-network because we want to focus on community and learning over deal-flow. We want to do our part in helping make private investing more transparent and accessible. To that end, please don’t hesitate to tell us your ideas and feedback. We’re still figuring things out, but have a lot of exciting ideas planned for our evolution.
