Chris, I’ll flip this. Angels vs VCs is secondary. The first Angels must be the founders themselves.

At 0 WHY NOT, me and my partners funded it ourselves. Because if an idea can’t survive on our own dime, no Angel cheque makes it real.

Capital isn’t oxygen. Not for demand inflation. Not to crush competition. Only to expand what already breathes.

Brilliant points and wholeheartedly agree. I've mates who've bootstrapped to $100m + in revenues, the "one & done" founders & those that simply choose to "build & collect" - masters of their own destiny ✨

Angel investing is much more personal than VC investment

I never really understood the difference between Angel Investors and VCs. I actually always wrote both of them off as not for me but this an eye opener.
