I find getting into hot deals to be one of the tougher parts of VC/angel investing. There always seems to be a lot of money chasing the best deals.
That being said, I don't have to deal with salary caps and a bazillion other complications when I play Fantasy Football. And this looks like fun! Thanks for posting Sohail.
- sohailprasad 14y agoDefinitely, and many deals are based on some kind of personal relationship with the founder. It's funny: over time I've built up better access and relationships, but have no money to invest... So this will have to do for now :) I'm looking forward to keeping the list updated and looking back in a couple years.
- mammalfriend 14y agoThis! Obviously good investments are almost always oversubscribed, and additionally not all startups are raising angel money all the time. You need to find the overlap of: * Company is raising now * You can get in on the deal * Terms are acceptable * You want to invest in the company These are some reasons why professional investors are so busy taking meetings, and why so many angels piggyback on deals with more active/well known investors.
