E108: The Angel Next Door
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
E108: Angel Investors are everywhere but only represent about 7.5% of all accredited investors. Given that diversified early stage startup fund results equal or exceed many other capital investment strategies (Public Equities, Bonds, Private Equity, & Real Estate) with a >20% 10 year average IRR, why aren't more accredited investors including early stage startups in a diversified portfolio?
The available data is not clear and a 10 year investment cycle doesn't fit all investors, but perhaps the principal barrier-to-entry for early-stage Angel Investors is knowledge. Most accredited investors don't (yet) know how to learn about startup investing, how to do diligence, how to develop deal flow, and how to execute a long term strategy.
In today's show David interviews Marcia Dawood, an experienced Angel Investor who has her own podcast about Angel Investing, The Angel Next Door. She tells her story and how others can do the same. (recorded 2/1/24)
Also check out her forthcoming book, Do Good While Doing Well, available here.
