Horseshit.
An angel is looking for people with hustle. Someone with hustle will find a way to email me. Not blast me on twitter (along with 35 other people all at the same time.)
"Make sure you have a working demo" is a pretty reasonable cutoff, don't you think?
As a known angel, you get inundated with requests; you have to develop a bunch of quick ways to throw out the majority of incoming traffic or you drown.
- hythloday 15y agoNone of them seem unreasonable. My point was rather than the only thing the angel has going for them is the value of their time--the value of their money is identical across angels. To stress how little of this time is available ("don't send me long emails") to founders off the bat seems, to me, to be an undesirable quality I would want to hide from founders.
- joshu 15y agoI think "don't send me long emails" is shorthand for "communicate clearly and crisply" - lots of people ramble and I can't be bothered to pick out the one important detail.
