Summary of David S. Rose's Angel Investing

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Angel investing is moving from an arcane backwater to a mainstream business. Today, any sophisticated investor with a portfolio of alternate assets should consider direct, early-stage investments in private companies as one potential component of that portfolio.

#2 The majority of so-called angel investors actually lose money. However, this is not the case for those who invest in carefully selected and managed portfolios of angel investments.

#3 Angel investing is when individual people invest their personal capital in a startup company. Angels find investment opportunities through referrals from people they know, through attending regional or national events at which early stage companies launch their products, by being approached directly by ambitious entrepreneurs, or through participating in reputable online early-stage investment platforms.

#4 The idea versus execution relationship is shown in Figure 1. 2. Today, with technology providing startup businesses with virtually free hosting, bandwidth, tools, and marketing, it is extremely easy for anyone to get started.
