Most founders pitch only to large groups of angels, and they forget that attracting an angel investor is about building a one-on-one relationship. After my experiences in the past five years, I see a big difference in startups where the Founders also selected their angel investors and looked for chemistry, network, and expertise matching rather than just looking for money & accepting any kind of a deal. I'm talking more about this aspect in the article I wrote a few weeks ago & you can also find 11 other notes on what you have to become & prepare in order to be more attractive to an angel investor.
