So, I think angel investors ROCK, including you two - David & Brad. I totally concur with the concept that capital matters, but value-add means more. My angel investors (including you 2) roll up their sleeves and help. This is much more important to the business than the $s (although we need these too). One thing I didn't hear in the podcast that I think is absolutely relevant is the background of the entrepreneur. If you're a serial entrepreneur (make that a successful, serial entrepreneur) - life is good. For those of us who fall into the mere mortal category, it's tougher. We OK.

It's one thing to read angel/VC blogs and get a sense of who the people are, but it's much more informative to hear them speak. Apart from other benefits, I bet spending a couple of hours being involved in making the podcast will save you at least that much time reading emails that you'd have otherwise received. It's also very refreshing and informative to hear people unafraid to say fuck/shit - good for you. I bet that cuts down on traffic nicely too. Here's to fine-grained early filters.
