Building an Angel Investor Portfolio

Every angel investor’s portfolio is different but how do you decide what is best for your goals and interests? What is an “optimal” portfolio? We will explore some views from experienced angels.

How does one get access great deals? Deal flow is important, whether you are an individual Angel or a member of an Angel Group.

Mistakes I have made – or “Don’t do what I did, do what I say!”
