Return of the Angels: How angel investing is changing, and what it means for entrepreneurs August 12, 2009

Angel investors are the new black. In a down market, with venture activity slowing, many entrepreneurs are looking to angels for salvation. But they may be in for a rude awakening – angels are not exempt from economic pressures, and their outlook, strategies, and requirements are changing.

In this Strategy Series, we’ll discuss:

* How are angels coping with the economy? How are they changing their investment strategies and what does that mean for startups?
* New demands of angels: what they're asking for, how to approach them now vs. before
* Do you have a better chance today for angel than for VC? What are the ramifications of both that you need to consider?
