Written for founders I have invested in, am considering investing in, or who want me to invest in them. I aim to be the most useful angel on your cap table.
- If you want me as an angel, email me. I don't mind cold emails.
- I write $5k to $50k checks to 10-30 startups every year, and introduce them to other useful angels and institutional funds for additional capital.
I love helping with
- 📈 Growing teams. I've taken teams from 4 —> 400
- 🤝 M&A Strategy (fyi this begins at founding). I've sold 3 companies as founder and / or CEO
- 1st for $3m, 2nd for $25m, 3rd for $165m to a public company ($LRN)
- I’ve learned a ton from each one. I love helping founders make sure they exit for the maximum amount possible by creating a win/win for the acquirer, and put themselves in a good situation post - transaction.
- 💳 Getting your first 100 paying customers
- 💰 Raising capital: Pre-seed, Seed, Series A, B, C
