“I’ve been an angel since 1980,” said William Payne http://matr.net/article-24741.html , an entrepreneur who sold his dielectric-powder making company to DuPont in 1982. “I discovered that if I went to a conference and put ‘Bill Payne, Angel,’ on my badge, I’d leave the conference with 10 business plans, and I’m supposed to be retired.”
