Angel investors, on the other hand, may be investing in your company simply because he likes your character and want to see you succeed. That is to say, profit making may be of secondary consideration.
That’s me being me, putting it perhaps a tad too nicely. Perhaps I shouldn’t say profit making is of secondary consideration to these angels, some of whom would, upon hearing this, rise up and retort with indignation: “Of course, we want to make a profit, too!”
But, you know what I mean, I mean no harm.
Okay, why don’t we read a few media examples to get further enlightened on the subject:
1. Kevin Hartz is sitting this one out.
Sure, Hartz is busy with his day-job as CEO of online ticketing startup Eventbrite, but it’s not a time management thing that keeps him from his usual angel-investing habit. It’s more a money management thing. Hartz doesn’t like to invest his when there is so much sloshing around Silicon Valley.
The last new investment Hartz made was more than a year ago. At the time it was a little company no one had heard of called Pinterest. You’ve probably heard of it now. Hartz also made early bets on Airbnb, Flixster, Palantir, Trulia and Yammer among others. He’s mobbed up with the PayPal mafia, not as a former colleague, but again, because he was an early backer. Hartz is making follow-on investments in his current roster of startups, but he’s not looking to do anything new — it’s just too expensive.
