Agreed. The good news is that there are a few things you can do to make yourself more appealing relative to other investors. This is all based upon my experience on the other side of the table fundraising: decide quickly and decisively, be quick with your comms, and be nice.
I think the handshake deal protocol will help those who want to be bold and act fast. Like I mentioned, these decisions were based on watching the pitches on stage, not even the follow up meetings. http://ycombinator.com/hdp.html http://ycombinator.com/hdp.html
- richardjordan 14y agoWell good luck. I like that you're thinking it through. I've talked to so many "angels" who just made some money and decide they want to invest in startups so just spray and pray. I always hope that if I get a good exit at some point in the future I'd give back to the community by becoming an angel investor in a smart, considered way, like this.
