What is common between Angel investors and VCs .? There is always lot of discussion regarding Angel money and VC money. Mostly related to what should you take when and how much share an entrepreneur should part with. While that is a topic into itself I wanted to share the commonality from Founder point of view. A founder seeking investment or taking any money should always make sure the investors bring more than just money to the table. I am referring to what is called smart money. Always deal with investors that bring their network and expertise to help you succeed along with money they invest. That being said look for the background and profile of investors and their network when you start talking with them.
