When I started angel investing in 2021, one of my biggest mistakes I made was applying traditional fundamental analysis to early-stage investing. Seemed smart at the time but most of those checks I wrote went to zero.
Wrote five small $5k checks then, nothing serious. Three of them went to zero. One returned my money while the last one appreciated a bit, but still has no clear path to any liquidity event.
At the time, I worked in a private investment firm with an investment process closer to PE, so naturally, that shaped how I approached investing. I was trying to analyze startups like mature businesses. Crunching numbers that, frankly, had very little bearing on the true fundamentals of the opportunity. Not saying crunching numbers arenβt great but heavy reliance shouldnβt be placed on them esp at the early stage where a company is still trying to find its bearing.
2024 I came back for round 2 and went down the rabbit hole to gather insights from the OGs. Watched almost every Olumide Soyombo, Kola Aina, and Iyin Aboyeji video I could find on the internet, studying how they approached startup investing and a recurring theme I noticed was that their early-stage investments thesis were mostly driven by qualitative judgment. Things like Founder quality, market insight, distribution, Industry direction etc and the potential for that industry to attract capital for future liquidity were the recurring theme I noticed.
While I was busy building spreadsheets for businesses too early to be properly gauged that way, the prolific guys already knew the right questions to ask. Sometimes, they had already decided they wanted exposure to a specific sector and were simply looking for the right operator to back.
In 2024, I refined my philosophy and came back for round two.
Still nowhere near as prolific as the OGs, but the ROIC on my portfolio so far tells me one thing clearly that Iβve definitely gotten better at this π
Nico Gonzalez, Rico Lewis, Tijjani Reijnders, Omar Marmoush, Mateo Kovacic, James Trafford and Nathan Ake are among those who could leave Manchester City this summer.
Josko Gvardiol is considering his options as he mulls a new contract offer from City as well as interest from Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
Ruben Dias has also been linked to Real Madrid, which may gather pace now that Florentino Perez will continue as president and bring in Jose Mourinho as the new manager.

Having a husband is great because you always have someone to talk to. The problem is, halfway through your story, you start noticing the signs.
The occasional "hmm." The random nodding. The delayed "wow" that has absolutely nothing to do with what you just said.
One day I spent almost twenty minutes telling my husband about something that happened at work. I was fully invested. I gave background information, side characters, plot twists, and even explained why I was upset.
When I finally finished, he blinked a couple of times, looked up at me, and said, "Sorry, I think I drifted off for a second. What happened after that?"
That was when I realized this man had been physically present but spiritually unavailable.
The funny part is that I wasn't even angry. I just started laughing because now I understand why all my secrets are safe with him.
It's not loyalty. It's because he never received the information in the first place.
The problem with being a very calm person is that a lot of people feel they can cheat you and get away with it.
This calm demeanor wey I get, una wan use am fool me. I go show person serious shege today.
