Perhaps an enterprising Angel Group can try to package or commoditize the process of making Angel-sized (six figure) investments. I'm not sure the term "Angel Group" would still apply after adopting this model, but Angel Groups seem well-positioned to evolve into this new "new venture animal."
- rms 19y agoWhat size investments do the Angel Groups make right now?
- ecommercematt 19y agoIt is my understanding that Angel Groups presently serve more to facilitate connections between Entrepreneurs and Angel Investors, rather than investing collaboratively. The size of the investments they facilitate vary (likely to fall between seed/YC [5 figures] and VC [7 figures or +] sizes).
- pg 19y agoTraditional angel groups have so far been a complete disappointment. They're more conservative than VCs. But I would not be surprised if a new form of angel group starts to emerge. There are a couple syndicates of ex-Googlers that look very promising. They have lots of money, and they were all smart enough to get hired as early employees at Google.
- ecommercematt 19y agoDo you have links or other info on these guys that you're able/inclined to share?
- pg 19y agoI don't think either of them have web sites. That's not unusual. A lot of angels and angel syndicates don't.
