US VC Trends are Driving Angel Groups Towards more Angel-only Deals
In an earlier post, I reported that angels in some US groups are investing in more angel-only deals, that is, startups for which less than $1 million in funding will provide sufficient runway to achieve positive cash flow. Angels are electing to seek out and invest is such deals because venture capital in the range of $1 to $5 million is less available than in the past.
As I pointed out earlier, the world of venture capital in the US is changing rapidly – and not for the better. VCs are funding fewer deals with a higher fraction as later stage deals. US VCs are investing larger sums in total in each venture and waiting longer, hoping for larger exits.
