What should we do
Entrepreneurs
1. Avoid believing "specialness" of angels as a category of investors
No "value difference" to F&F
2. Understand the true alternatives, such as banks and bootstrapping
3. Develop an accurate profile of angel investors
4. Understand what angels are looking for no need to be next Google
5. Have a realistic sense when one can get angel money
It's much later than one thinks (hopes)
6. Be aware that raising money as a process is typically haphazard
7. Understand what you can get out of angels
It's just money, actually
8. Not all angels are the same a small minority can provide more than just the money
Angels
1. Have realistic earning expectations
2. Ask yourself why you want to make angel investment
3. Have realistic expectations of what you will get in return
4. It's not difficult to become an angel investor
5. Remember the angel groups

F&F investors
Treat angels with less awe
Don't believe the added value
VC
Angel goals are not completely aligned with VC goals
Policy Makers
1. Remember that the angel market is small
