Publisher Description
One of Silicon Valley’s most successful angel investors shares his rules for investing in startups.
There are two ways to make money in startups: create something valuable—or invest in the people that are creating valuable things.
Over the past twenty-five years, Jason Calacanis has made a fortune investing in creators, spotting and helping build and fund a number of successful technology startups—investments that have earned him tens of millions of dollars. Now, in this enlightening guide that is sure to become the bible for twenty-first century investors, Calacanis takes potential angels step-by-step through his proven method of creating massive wealth: startups.
As Calacanis makes clear, you can get rich—even if you came from humble beginnings (his dad was a bartender, his mom a nurse), didn’t go to the right schools, and weren’t a top student. The trick is learning how angel investors think. Calacanis takes you inside the minds of these successful moneymen, helping you understand how they prioritize and make the decisions that have resulted in phenomenal profits. He guides you step by step through the process, revealing how leading investors evaluate new ventures, calculating the risks and rewards, and explains how the best startups leverage relationships with angel investors for the best results.
Whether you’re an aspiring investor or a budding entrepreneur, Angel will inspire and educate you on all the ins of outs. Buckle up for a wild ride into the world of angel investing!

One of the best investment books
If you are starting out in angel investment - you must read it!
If you a founder aiming to raise at some point - you must read it!
If you are none of the above - just go for it as a motivational book, you won’t regret it!
Exceptional good read.....
This really was an incredibly easy and educational book to read for those of us who have already or are thinking of dipping our toes into the Angel market!
From first impression to making a long lasting impression.
When I first stumbled across Jason's podcast, I thought "what an arrogant, self opinionated dick...that's simply come good, through a couple of lucky leads".
How so very wrong, was I?
After listening to dozens of episodes whilst motoring across the UK road network, I now appreciate just how he's become the absolute go-to guy for other aspiring founders and potential investors.
This book highlights Jason's very own colourful diction in a non jargon, reassuringly honest and easily digestible way.
Enjoy....
