2008 angel investing financing 
Both Sides of the Table
NOVEMBER 14, 2010
And so it happened that between 2000-2008 I was the biggest buzz kill at dinner parties. They have marked-up paper gains propped up by an over excited venture capital market that has validated their investments. Logic tells me the following: It is hard to make money angel investing.

If 2011 & 2012 look like 2010 then the current crop of angel investments will look great. My thesis on why this is happening is that large tech companies didn’t invest enough in R&D between 2008-2010 (Google even went through layoffs!!!) It’s hard to say.

It’s hard for me to imagine that angel investing outcomes judged 10 years from now will have a drastically different profile. The best angels or angel funds will do tremendously well. As I’ve said many times, investing shares many of the same characteristics as gambling.

My thesis on why this is happening is that large tech companies didn’t invest enough in R&D between 2008-2010 (Google even went through layoffs!!!) That is why I find it curious when angels start shouting that VC’s are dinosaurs, evil, money-grubbing and non-value-add.
This is going to be BIG.

Clearly a startup should consult its lawyer before filing or not filing.But the attorneys I relied on to write this piece told me that they’ve done lots of Section 4(2) deals in the past, and would recommend it to clients who had relatively simple financing agreements (not tranched-out, not too many investors, etc.) Short answer: no.
