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!
This audiobook edition of Angel includes exclusive bonus one-on-one interviews with Jason Calacanis and professional angel investors. Featured are Founders Fund Partner Cyan Banister, multiple start up investor Gil Penchina, Founding Partner at XG Ventures Andrea Zurek, and serial entrepreneur and start up mentor Ed Roman.
Customer Reviews
Phenomenal and insightful
Couldn’t have been more pleased with this book, well written and full of valuable information. So engaging that I listened to the entire thing over an 18 hour span. Since reading I have now poured into Jason’s podcast. If you have any interest in Angel Investing you can not afford not to read this book.
As Advertised: An Angel Investing MasterClass
I’ve heard Jason talk about his book multiple times And, as advertised, he pulls the curtain back behind angel investing and is candid and truthful on his mistakes and wins. What I liked most is that he gave great arguments as to how angel investing really isn’t as risky as tryouts might think. It actually makes a lot of sense monetarily and philosophically (to advance the world forward). He gave a step by step process to becoming an angel investor with 0 experience (just a little bit of money). Even if you don’t have money he gave advice for that too. But all in all, even after watching >100 TWiST episodes, it was great to get an incredibly focused and detailed synopsis on the venture capital & startup ecosystem and how to become an angel investor. And a great one at that. Thanks, Jason
Very well written step-by-step blueprint
I am moved to action by the words of Jason Calacanis in this book. Very well written and articulates foreign concepts in a manner that is understandable to the rest of us. I highly recommend that anyone interested in technology startup’s read this book......in my top five favorite books of all time!
