Angel Investing isn’t about the money. It’s about everything AFTER the money…
Sure, investing in high-growth startups is a great diversification play. If you’ve got the appetite, you can put anywhere between 1-10% of your total portfolio into high-risk (and high-return) investments.
But angel investing is never just about the money.
It can be about Information.
It can be about education.
It can be about access.
It can be about networking.
Perhaps most importantly, it’s just fun. Writing an angel check is one of the most rewarding ways to put your money behind your beliefs and become a part of the change you want to see in the world.
With any luck, you might get the opportunity to help a few friends along the way.
That’s why everyone should be an angel investor.
