In 1998, before they even incorporated, Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page were trying to present their concept to early-stage, or "angel" investors, with limited success. What entrepreneur hasn't dreamed that our startup will experience the same magical beginnings as Google ?

Simon Lack reports in The Hedge Fund Mirage that from 1998 to 2010, hedge fund managers earned $379 billion in fees, while their investors earned only $70 billion in investing gains. This may make sense from the individual perspective of a given VC, but collectively it ensures that early-stage companies are overvalued.

When we sold our startup in 1998 I thought one day Id do some angelinvesting. Mechanics Angel investors often syndicate deals, which means they join togetherto invest on the same terms. In a syndicate there is usually a"lead" investor who negotiates the terms with the startup. Dont feel like you have to join a syndicate, though.
