Ten commandments of Angel Investing
1.
“Ten Commandments of
Angel Investing” What commandments might a “higher investing power” pass on to angel investors, to help in their quest for success in early stage company investing? Although not necessarily etched in stone, we’ll take a stab at what might be considered the “Ten Command- ments of Angel Investing”: a set of basic rules for early stage company investing. “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
2.
I. “Profit is the
ultimate goal.” “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
3.
1. “Profit is
the ultimate goal.” Angel investing is not charity. Invest to create successful companies. Invest Create Grow Exit (M&A or IPO). The goal is to yield profits for future investments. “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
4.
II. “Invest in great
teams.” “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
5.
2. “Invest in
great teams.” Avoid single member “mad scientist” investment. Great entrepreneurs build great teams. Great teams can overcome most challenges. Try to find, and fund, great teams (business experience, business diversity, attitude). “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
6.
III. “Invest in big
ideas.” “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
7.
3. “Invest in
big ideas.” “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.” -- Former NHL hockey all star Wayne Gretzky Look for big idea, where market is heading. Avoid the “me too” investment (similar ideas in crowded field). But: big idea must be backed up with data. “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
8.
IV. “Invest in large
markets.” “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
9.
4. “Invest in
large markets.” Large markets allow for growing pains; “larger field”, more “playing time”. Large markets support inevitable competition. Even “somewhat successful” result might yield “large exit” in a large market. “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
10.
V. “Know the valuation
range.” “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
11.
5. “Know the
valuation range.” Angel investing is risky investing, don’t overvalue. Companies should be reasonably priced. Use “comps” of similar companies but always adjust for risk. Remember: failure more likely than success, don’t be afraid to walk away, there will always be another deal. “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
12.
VI. “Always do due
diligence.” “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
13.
6. “Always do
due diligence.” “There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don't know.” -- Former United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld Angel investing is full of “unknown unknowns”. Use your due diligence time to uncover them. Take nothing for granted, be thorough. “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
14.
VII. “Support your companies.”
“Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
15.
7. “Support your
companies.” Keep “dry powder” for future investment rounds. Listen and advise where you add value. Help “keep the faith”: start-ups succeed with persistence and patience. “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
16.
VIII. “Create an investment
portfolio.” “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
17.
8. “Create an
investment portfolio.” If one or two out of ten or twenty are “homeruns”, you need a portfolio of co.’s to increase odds. Invest where comfortable but diversify. Be patient: a good investment portfolio takes time to develop. “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
18.
IX. “Know when to
fold „em.” “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
19.
9. “Know when
to fold ‘em.” “You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away and know when to run.” --“The Gambler” by Kenny Rogers Don’t throw good money after bad in deals. Don’t just chase the “homeruns” (100X exits). Reasonable returns in a reasonable timeframe (doubles, triples etc. keep you “in the game”). “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
20.
X. “Give more than
you receive.” “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
21.
10. “Give more
than you receive.” Always be teaching, as well as learning. Mentor and help entrepreneurs and startups, even those you may pass on, for investment. Those you help, may later help you one day. “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
22.
I.
VI. “Profit is the ultimate goal.” “Always do due diligence.” II. VII. “Invest in great teams.” “Support your companies.” III. VIII. “Invest in big ideas.” “Create an investment portfolio.” IV. IX. “Invest in large markets.” “Know when to fold „em.” V. X. “Know the valuation range.” “Give more than you receive.” “Ten Commandments of Angel Investing” ©2012 Tech Coast Angels
23.
