If you want to break into angel investing, start by building a legendary reputation for helping founders source and vet their first 10 hires If you can do that, every founder will want your money and you'll have no shortage of investors begging to become LPs

When I started angel investing, I would've never predicted how few founders make it to the starting line Even if the founder is skilled, they have initial funding, and the idea has potential, many never launch a product Just being relentless is a competitive advantage

There are plenty of reasons to buy a home — financial return is not one of them In NYC you have to price in property tax, HOA fees, maintenance, mansion tax, title search cost/insurance/gratuity, inspection, appraisal, broker fee, app fee, etc Renting is not throwing money away

With Snap's market cap crossing $50B, it's interesting to look back to 2013. Fresh off turning down the FB offer, Evan could have easily raised at 3-5x the current valuation. Instead he chose to focus on monetization. This is an amazing display of discipline for a 23 year old!
