To begin with, it is important to understand some basic facts about the world of entrepreneurial finance: There are many more entrepreneurs than there are investors, with the result that only one company out of every 400 that seeks venture funding actually receives it. Gust takes advantage of the cloud, and you should, too.

I recently wrote a post on angel financing covering the topic of convertible notes but I realized I was thinking about the issue more from investor perspective and a very narrow topic of how to price the round.

One of the impact initiatives I’m proudest of is founding Harvard Business School Alumni Angels of New York , a nonprofit and now the East Coast’s largest angel group. When we launched in 2010, I saw a white space: a burgeoning NY tech ecosystem, but only one angel group regularly writing checks.

I have always admired the Dead's biz model (sorry Friendster/MySpace/Facebook, The Dead was the First Social Network) and music, although I never became a full fledged Deadhead. In theory, angel groups are great. However, these financings are the exception to the rule in SHA and I assume more so in other groups.

A major angel group uses Influitive , an advocate management tool, to track, activate and motivate their members. Other VCs use Contently * or Social Native * to create relevant content. Boardex and Relationship Science make it easier to understand and map social networks into potential limited partners.

However, that is not always the case as there is no qualification to set out your shingle as an angel investor or form an angel group. I often wonder if saying you are an angel investor is the 21st century version of being a consultant in the early 1990s after the corporate layoffs, a euphemism for someone without a real job.

It turns out the statistics related to returns were from an oft cited study on returns to investors in angel groups sponsored by the Angel Capital Association with research by Robert Wiltbank at Willamette University. Don't Stop Believin' Is There Any Truth in "The Social Network"? ► 2010.
