@susanmcp1 There was no surprise. It wasn't a matter of whether it would happen. It was just a matter of when.

@Jason "Fuck your feelings".

"It is what it is."

"My thoughts and prayers."

@VPrasadMDMPH You mean like this?

[An Angel Investor @AnAngelInvestor]

@Jason We study how fascism was dealt with in Europe after WWII. Do that to the new "Trumpism", which is the same thing.

We stand up to misinformation sources from Russia and other adversaries.

Without accurate facts, there is no way to run a civilized country.

@USATODAYmoney Data suggests otherwise, and he is delusional. We should, however, gain more long-term vision and support the development of technologies of the future, not the past (like coal).

@nathankeedy @NPR @MorningEdition @rachelnpr @JnnyG @NPRinskeep I agree. @NPRinskeep and @rachelnpr, It is the first thing I listen to in the morning. Great work, both, thank you.

@VentureBeat It surely is. There are cautionary tales abound, though.

[An Angel Investor @AnAngelInvestor]

#Entrepreneurs, beware of "know it all" investors. They may criticize your #business for all the wrong reasons. Don't court their money because they may harm you later. Do #DueDiligence on them as well. #Startup #VentureCaptial #Angel #VC

@SparklesTopsy I can't agree with you more. Cultural change needs to start from the leadership; and if a large group of the leadership sets this kind of example, there won't be enough #MeToo movements to change the culture.

Apparently money can't buy class. The @FT expose of the sexual harassment that happened at The Presidents Club is an appalling #shitshow for men. I applaud @Tesla and @BMW for withdrawing their auction prizes. Men really need to learn. https://t.co/RzbS0NlsGh

@NPRinskeep Credit unions welcome this change from BoA.

@NinaTotenberg Stereotyping. But that's not uncommon in the legal world...

More wise words from Professor @AdamMGrant. Observe founders' behavior when they pitch and observe the way they treat their staff during due diligence. It tells you a lot about them. Narcissistic "Bros" #founders generally fail me at this point. #Startup #Business #AngelInvestor https://t.co/5ZhT5fsBZu

We think power corrupts, but more often power reveals. As people gain influence, they feel free to show their true colors.
The true test of character: how you treat people who lack power.

Cautionary tale for #AngelInvestors. Watch out for greedy founders who don't care about anyone else (employees or shareholders). Insist on Preferred priced round and Founders must take Common Shares. Not ok @practicefusion. Otherwise, this: https://t.co/6ZtzYCh6n4

[An Angel Investor @AnAngelInvestor]

The #TaxCuts is great for me, but bad for the country long-term; which will end up not being that great for anyone. I don't believe I could have achieved what I have without MANY other people, my current and former employees' hard work. I did NOT build this alone.

[An Angel Investor @AnAngelInvestor]

From Professor @AdamMGrant, a great voice for reasons and empathy, in business and in life. https://t.co/ZpY112dIKH

To be more productive, you don’t have to learn from others—you can learn from yourself.
Look at your most prolific days, and ask what routines they have in common.

Despite the myth, data suggests that most Angel deals require a priced round with preferred shares. (81.4% per the latest HALO report). Convertible Notes, as it was designed, should only be used as a Bridge round. #Startup #business #AngelInvestor
