Lecture Description

Taking its name from the early investors of classic Hollywood, Ron Conway and Mike Maples define the angel investor. In addition, they explain the differences between angel investors and venture capitalists, and point out why an angel's smaller dollars might be a better choice, as they're often paired with a network of contacts, industry expertise, a broad range of exit strategies, and tools to keep start-ups in business.
