"we’re currently in a golden age for early stage startups, and the early stage market will stay hot for at least the next 3-5 years"
"VCs are seeding deals without any price sensitivity, and a lot of angels seeing exits even when the teams fail"
"Angels are willing to invest because they have downside protection due to acquihires"
"downside protection is driven by acquihires from companies paying $1M-3M per engineer"
Fascinating observations. For me this is not a bubble. It is a fail safe investment opportunity. If you are an accredited investor just sign up for AngelList and start investing in seed rounds for startups that you understand. There is too much upside and too little downside. No wonder the funding environment for seed stage startups is red hot.
