Super information. Relevant not just to the founders it is facing but to the other side for Angels and what the founders might be looking for and asking their (prospective) investors. As an Angel, I found it useful. Bring on the next nine episodes and don't be fussed to keep it to 40 minutes guys. One hour is nice. Great content and format

To me this is educational entertainment. Also, I love swinging for the fences in a strategic way. 🦄

When you were discussing minimum investment and 50K was presented what would be a normal or Fair share of the company for that amount?
