Getting Started in Angel Investing
To get started in angel investing, set aside a specific amount of money that you're willing to invest and be comfortable with the idea of potentially losing it all. It is important to figure out what value you can offer to founders, whether it's your expertise in a specific industry, your network, or any other unique skills you possess. Building a strong network is crucial in angel investing, as deal flow is the currency that has value in this space. Reach out to your existing network and let them know you're interested in angel investing. Cold emails can also be effective, especially when they are personalized, thoughtful, and show genuine interest in the company. Just remember that angel investing is a sales process, so pitch yourself as an investor and offer value to founders.
