Tags: Economy Monday, April 25, 2016 While I was doing some research about some of our ACA Summit speakers, I found that several have penned some really interesting pieces. Angels and entrepreneurs can learn a lot about investing trends and key trends and issues in early stage investing. Here is an incomplete list of articles to check out: Tuesday, April 05, 2016 By A.J. Watson of Fundify, LLC in Austin, TX. This article originally appeared on Medium.com Summary: The majority of angel investments are made by investors with no prior industry experience. This is a problem since one of the best indicators of investment success is the investor’s past experience. If you are an angel investor, you should seek to invest in industries where you have experience OR invest alongside investors with prior experience. I believe so strongly in this fact that I’m helping build Fundify.com, a community of industry experts, to help.

In the second article in this deal terms series we gave an overview and mapping of all of the key term sheet clauses used by investors to address the concerns in each category. In the third article we dug deeper into the provisions relating to Deal Economics, in the fourth Investor Rights/Protection, and in this article we are going to tackle the Governance, Management and Control category. |
