One comment made by Jason was that angels tend to be less sensitive than VCs on valuation and can potentially make it difficult to get a venture financing done at acceptable valuation. A related topic is the standardization of terms. A good comparison of the various "standard" term sheets can be found at Start-up Company Lawyer.
