👼 #Angel #Investing: A Personal J#ourney Dear LinkedIn community, 🚀 What Is Angel Investing? Angel investing is like planting seeds in the #startup garden. As an angel investor, you provide initial seed money to early-stage companies, nurturing their growth in exchange for ownership equity. It’s a thrilling ride where risk meets potential reward. 🌱💡 🌟 My Decade-Long Adventure: #AngelList Returns For over a decade, I’ve explored the non-public markets across various platforms. My AngleList exposure has yielded more than a 3x return on my portfolio. 📈 But here’s the twist: I don’t consider myself a traditional angel investor. Let me explain why. 🔍 The LP Perspective  Most of my exposure comes as a Limited Partner (#LP), The Nordic Web Ventures. I’ve dipped my toes into regulated markets, high-tech ventures, and deep-tech innovations, outside of my LP positions. These private placements have been strategic, calculated, and aligned with my interests. 💼🔬 🤔 When Does the Halo Appear?  Now, the burning question: When do we don our angel wings? Is it from the first private placement, or does it depend on ticket size? 🎟️ Here’s my take: First Private Placement: Some say the halo forms here—the moment you back a visionary founder with passion and promise. You’re an angel, guiding their flight. Ticket Size: Others argue it’s about commitment. Whether you sprinkle stardust with a small check or unleash a meteor shower, your intent matters. 💫 🌠 The Angel’s Calling Ultimately, being an angel isn’t just about numbers—it’s about impact. It’s cheering for the underdog, celebrating breakthroughs, and weathering storms together. 🌈 🙌 Join the Conversation What’s your definition of an angel investor? Share your thoughts below! Let’s create a constellation of insights. 🌟✨ #AngelInvesting #StartupJourney #InvestmentInsights DTU Skylab Next Generation by DTU #ai #ml #healthtech #crypto #blockchain #web3
