They’ve all accepted that this is a new world of capital abundance and that the pistons driving the global economy are technology and network effects. And if you don’t hit one or two right, you end up with a mediocre portfolio. On this dimension, most seed funds can’t even compete on network, brand, or the cost of capital.

PROs of taking his angel money are the feeder system to venture financing of the next round and the vast network of portfolio CEOs which can be tapped into for connections and help. CONS of an investment from a Super Angel include potential lack of “value add” because his time is spread so thin amongst many portfolio companies.

Opportunistic VC investors focus less on developing very specific theses and more on cultivating a deep, rich network around the entire firm. Also really great opportunistic VCs are highly intentional about how they build their sourcing network and brand. We also invest only in software & internet enabled businesses.

The reason is that most seed syndicates have room for 5-10 angels or more, but only room for 1-3 funds. As an angel, it’s possible to get to an investment a bit late, or follow the signal of a strong syndicate and still do pretty well. They also should be doing due diligence of some sort.

At my firm, ff Venture Capital, we’re trying our part to rethink how the industry works, and also actively looking for opportunities to invest in companies creatively disrupting this sector, e.g., our portfolio companies Addepar and Indiegogo. I think there are many more opportunities to disrupt the space.
