2009 angel investing VC venture capital 
Both Sides of the Table
NOVEMBER 14, 2010
The dinner parties now are filled with self-righteous angel investors bragging about how many deals they are in on. They have marked-up paper gains propped up by an over excited venture capital market that has validated their investments. Logic tells me the following: It is hard to make money angel investing.
This is going to be BIG.

Unlike venture capital funds, they don't make money directly off the multiples of their return. They did quite well on their angel investment in Square. What's worse is that this end of the market is even affecting early stage VC mindset. Congrats on your huge disappointment.

I’ve recently taken a look at seed stage funding by venture capitalists (VCs) and angel investors over the past five years. For VCs, I chose to look at all seed stage VC deals (from MoneyTree©) as well as those in five of the most active regions in the country. All Seed-VC. Silicon Valley. New England.

It’s always fun chatting with Jason because he’s knowledgeable about the market, quick on topics and pushes me to talk more about VC / entrepreneur issues. Next Wednesday we’ll have Dana Settle of Greycroft Partners, a New York / LA early-stage venture capital fund. I’d link to it but it’s behind a paywall.
This is going to be BIG.

Apparently, venture capital is a cruddy asset class where you can't get returns over the long term. That might make sense, if venture capital was an asset class. Saying that venture capital is an asset class is like saying that Italians are a race. Venture capital works largely the same way.

Both angel group portfolios offer statistically significant sample sizes, and three previous large studies by Professor Rob Wiltbank also showed IRR’s in a similar range: 27% ( 2007 study ), 22% ( 2009 study ) and 22% ( 2016 study ). But how does this compare to other asset classes for comparable periods of time?

From Box to Glossier, and Comms to Venture Capital, Ashley Mayer Is Carving a Pretty Unique Path. Box had just 50 employees and was hitting an inflection point when I joined in 2009, so there was far more work to do than people to do it.
