5 things founders get wrong about angel investors They're not all the same Angels have different motivations and expectations when they invest - so you need to tailor your pitch to who they are / what they care about! They are more than just money Be intentional about who you want on your cap table - the best founders look for angels with the experience / expertise that can help them beyond just cash Ask for money, get advice Focus on building relationships before raising. Ask for feedback, keep them updated and let them see your progress over time! Most angels don't lead, they follow Most angels don't want to go first - but once one investor commits, it becomes much easier to close the rest They're backing you!! At an early stage there's not much data / proof - so they're betting on you as a founder, not just your idea!
