To begin with, it is important to understand some basic facts about the world of entrepreneurial finance: There are many more entrepreneurs than there are investors, with the result that only one company out of every 400 that seeks venture funding actually receives it.

However, that is not always the case as there is no qualification to set out your shingle as an angel investor or form an angel group. I often wonder if saying you are an angel investor is the 21st century version of being a consultant in the early 1990s after the corporate layoffs, a euphemism for someone without a real job.

Everyone wanted to work in finance. But now, the defining movie of today’s twentysomethings is “The Social Network”. Organizations like Accelerate Yale and Columbia Entrepreneurship have made important strides in bringing different university tech groups under one umbrella and hosting high-quality events in.

I have always admired the Dead's biz model (sorry Friendster/MySpace/Facebook, The Dead was the First Social Network) and music, although I never became a full fledged Deadhead. In theory, angel groups are great. However, these financings are the exception to the rule in SHA and I assume more so in other groups.
