Venture Capital vs. Angel Investing

John Taylor

The NVCA‘s Head of Research, John Taylor, joins Tech Coast Angels Chairman Emeritus, Dave Berkus, for a lively discussion about the latest trends in early stage investing.

During Dave’s introduction he mentions 87 investments, so I have to digress to talk about the latest startup he sent into Screening, AdventureLink. One feature of this funding candidate, they claim to be a small investment away from cash-flow-break-even which implies modest venture capital requirements, if any.

That sets the stage for a lively discussion about angel investing and its changing reliance on venture capital.
