"picked off fast" is perhaps a bit generous - there are lots of great companies that got to series A without seeing a single "top VC" term sheet. I see angel investing as a way to connect with new founders that have a lot of potential, and help them accelerate their path to a billion dollar valuation.
For an interesting middle ground, I'd recommend one of our investors, https://fundersclub.com https://fundersclub.com - they let you get in early on YC deals as an individual, and stay connected / give advice to companies you end up being an LP in

IMO good investing needs to be viewed in terms of averages and STDEV, rather than outliers. You may very well encounter a seed stage unicorn but the weighted probability and time weighted return of that dramatically reduces your value relative to something more stable like real estate.
