btw note that this article came out of a conversation about my motives from switching from angel back to entrepreneur.
a better title would have been "it's a tough time to be an angel" or even "now is an awesome time to be a founder"
- zaidf 16y agoJust shows the importance of context. Knowing this, it makes you sound like a smart guy picking founding over angel investing for now. The title makes you sound like some sour angel investor. Of course both things could be equally true in real-life. But not equally communicated by a title or an article.
- joshu 16y agoI think I have been pretty lucky as an angel investor. I think right now a lot of not-great stuff is getting funded, and it's very hard to figure out who is good with all the noise. I do think social signal is valuable and important, and that information is gone now. I just think it's a MUCH better time to be an entrepreneur - there's a lot of easy angel money out there!
- joshu 16y agoHuh -- they changed the title!
- zaidf 16y agoThe writer must be a grade A lurker :) Props to them. Alas, they can't "fool" the URL: /is-angel-investing-out-of-hand-joshua-schachter-thinks-so/
