Most startup advice is trash. So it's probably no surprise I keep going back to the same two things Andy Laats of Nixon shared with me 12 years ago.
Both were super relevant this week...
This summer I've had a handful of founders set up RUVs to bring angels onto their cap tables but then set $5k and $10K minimums. I want to cry. 🤦🏽♀️
"Aren't I leaving money on the table if I set it too low? There's no real benefit from a $1K check."
No. It's the opposite. =>
The future of angel investing is one of my *favorite* topics. I could go on for way more than 140. So much, that I am building a whole ass company around it at @LetsPlayMoney.
TLDR: I think the future of angel looks like:
Oof. Talked to a founder that feels potential customers aren’t buying because they aren’t smart enough to understand the product. Their proposed fix is to educate their potential customers more.
Thoughts on this strategy?
We are doing a thing. Actually, 2 things. Both are free. Both are priceless. Both were excuses to buy domain names. You know the drill.
