My Angel Investor Checklist
Editor's note:James Altucheris an investor, programmer, author, and entrepreneur.I know through hard experience that I'm one of the dumbest investors I know. Here are two examples: the time I cost Yasser Arafat $2 million (and lost investors another $100 million in the process) and the worst VC decision ever made (of course, it was made by me). Both happened around the same time period (2000-2001) and solidified my reputation in history as possibly the worst investor ever.However, I learn from my experiences. After a few successful startups following that period (Stockpickr.com notably, which sold to thestreet.com in 2007) I've started to do more angel investing and, in doing so, have figured out a check list to help me avoid my prior mistakes. If you follow this checklist I think you can do well as an angel investor.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/REEniO3Qblw/
