Still it's a bit on the fence as to whether "doubles" can get through the gatekeepers to even get in front of the members.Tony Karrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408035995182843336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556183800964088.post-18542716439271491682010-05-24T19:40:10.472-07:002010-05-24T19:40:10.472-07:00Tony - Although your experience might be that ange...Tony - Although your experience might be that angel groups are rigid regarding investment criteria, this is certainly not true in practice. It is always a SUBSET of the total membership which invests, and these members each have individual risk preferences and investment horizons. The challenge for an entrepreneur is to identify that subset and find champions within the group. Some angels only swing for the fence, while others are quite happy to rack up doubles with smaller investments.Kenhttp://kbhayes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556183800964088.post-15657813983840452962010-05-21T10:43:49.100-07:002010-05-21T10:43:49.100-07:00I am too wondering that why early stage investment...I am too wondering that why early stage investment isn’t aiming at good kinds of investments.hyiphttp://www.stfmonitor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556183800964088.post-69464918931778368912010-05-20T15:12:53.261-07:002010-05-20T15:12:53.261-07:00Frank - thanks for stopping by and for all the gre...Frank - thanks for stopping by and for all the great things you do with your writing and podcasts. One nice thing is that I've heard from you and a couple other folks from TCA already as a result. So, it's definitely a responsive group!Tony Karrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408035995182843336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556183800964088.post-84986837866046077562010-05-20T15:02:26.987-07:002010-05-20T15:02:26.987-07:00Contradicting myself?

Wouldn't be the first time. <br />But Basil's point is we should be funding companies that can exit at $20-30M, so their revenue at that point might be less than $10M. <br />Are we following Basil's advice?Frank Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874458465031098076noreply@blogger.com
