68 angel investments tracked
3 massive winners (10x+)
4 modest winners (2x+)
15 modest losers (recovered something between 0 and initial investment)
8 significant losers (recovered less than 10% of initial investment)
10 write-offs (literal zero)
~6 yet to have a liquidity event that I have decent to high hopes in
~22 yet to have a liquidity event that I have little to no hope in recovering anything from
Overall it's been profitable especially due to a bit of luck (two of the massive winners were $50k investments, my normal investment size otherwise averaged $10k), but not like insanely profitable -- probably would have been better off just buying BTC every time instead of each investment.
And it's been a massive nuisance to track, monitor, deal with teams, taxes, etc etc etc.
Doing far less angel investing these days and much happier for it
People think it's glamorous and exciting - it's what the rich people do! hedge funds do it! I wanna be like them! they make so much money!
Reality is almost always far less sexy than it seems
1/7 hit rate on angel investing is incredibly lucky.
Angel investing is not cooked; angel investors with unreal expectations are 👍
