Liquidationpreference. You can end up becoming very frustrated with the investors, or cause the venture to fail if you run out of seedcapital before the angel round can be completed. Angels may want the first right to purchase shares held by the other angels in the deal before they are sold to an outside party.

Another thing I noticed was that I was now referring companies that I had invested in at a “pre-seed” (capitalization intentional) stage over to folks who would previously be considered my peer venture funds doing Seed-stage investments. Worst case they get their money back, best case they hit a home run.
With this seedcapital – more often than not totaling between $100,000 and $1,000,000 - the company accomplishes a number of key technical milestones, gets a beta customer or two, and then goes on a "road show" to venture capitalists around the country for capital to “scale” the business.
It usually happens in a later round, when the company is in fact worth much less than the liquidationpreference overhang and insiders use a pay-to-play and a low valuation to reset the preferences and the cap table. and the investors, who put up $1m in a convertible note, get 0.1%. Sure – it happens.
