I seem never to find the time to get SweatInvestor’s infrastructure pulled together. The good news is both Facebook and LinkedIn seem to be progressing quickly as platforms that might provide the bulk of that infrastructure. I’m still toying with what needs to be in version 1.0, knowing that the more features I envision the longer things take to come together. I’m about to land, so more on this topic later.

In bound from HNL to SFO I choose to start out the new year with the simple cheer, “Welcome 2009 et al!”
May we all profit by investing our sweat when we encounter either opportunity or challenge on the road ahead…

Great PodCast on Angel Investing w/ Ron Conway
Posted by walter.roth under UncategorizedLeave a Comment
Described and linked to below is a great podcast on the topic of Angel investing.
Listening closely you get a great feeling for the process and numbers game of professional angel investing, Ron Conway style. He gives stats on deal flow, success rates, etc. In particular, he describes why the angel model is definitely a “hits business.”
As I work to further refine the description, approach and implementation of SweatInvestor.com, this podcast gave a lot of interesting concepts and dynamics to consider. Overall, SweatInvestor.com is positioned to be complimentary.

Description: experienced angel investors, Ron Conway, Founder of Angel Investors LP, and Mike Maples, Founder of Maples Investments, provide a rare look into the ins and outs of angel investing. Conway and Maples discuss how angel investors assess opportunities, provide assistance to entrepreneurs and transition start-ups to larger venture investments or exit. In addition, Conway and Maples provide advice to entrepreneurs about finding one’s passion and developing that passion into new ventures, including insight into how much money to raise and how to manage that money after it is in the bank.
