Investing in Pre-Seed and Seed stage B2B SaaS. Love hearing from other angels or people that want to get in the game 👊

@elonmusk @paraga Aren’t you very public that you want to reduce the reliance on advertisers??

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

@elonanal @elonmusk @paraga Lol except he’s very publicly said he wants to lower the reliance on ads

A pitch can't just all be about TAM. A big TAM isn't universally a good thing and a small TAM can in many cases be a great thing.

Seed stage companies should have traction based on some concrete metric. If you conduct pilots with customers, there should be some sort of takeaway in the form of signed deals, ongoing user usage, etc.

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

@villi @adamnash Best way to accomplish this might be to lower tax rates on wages.

@cameron_amini Love this Cameron. I think a lot of the benefits you talk about as far as getting to know Founders slips away with the advent of Syndicates.

@carles337 @JoachimSchelde What are the angel investments?

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

When I hear “we have a team of 30 people” and you’re just going into your seed round, I hear “we are very capital inefficient”. #angelinvesting #startupinvesting

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

Syndicates offer much more deal flow than an angel could every access before. But, less access to Founders make angel investing even more of a crapshoot. #angelinvesting #startupinvesting #saasinvesting

@polagnoli Nice! What’s the company?

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

@Air_in215 Very cool! What are some of the reasons?

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

@felix12777 @sahibasethi7 Can you share more details?

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

@Allesharelle @AmberIllig @CouncilAngels @joinClubhouse This looks very cool!

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

@gmehrguth Sign up for Angel List syndicates and start seeing the deals that come through. Also, check out https://t.co/j0SCZ6kxig by @Jason. That should help you with deal flow.

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

@davidhoang What deals have you done?

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

@danhightower Do you think investors can still find deals outside of syndicates?

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

There’s still enormous friction between angels that want to deploy capital and promising startups.

[Pablo_Saascobar @saascobar]

@BullishAngel @JulieGuo19 It's pretty amazing no matter what long term period you look at, returns in equities have been terrific. Compounding returns really is the key to a comfortable life.

@adamnash @evansjia @dstafford This is likely more art than science when you're starting out. For an advanced investor like @adamnash, it will be more formulaic. But if you're just starting out, go with a lower check size and don't hold yourself to a minimum per year.
