15 Strategies to Enhance Performance Pick a Goal – Is this for fun, profit or philanthropy? Invest Where You Have Industry Expertise – Analysis indicated that expertise has a material impact on angel investors’ returns. Returns were nearly double for investments in ventures where the investor had related industry expertise and contacts. Increase Due Diligence Time – Investors experienced better returns in the deals where they exercised more due diligence. Sixty-five percent of the exits with below-average time spent on due diligence reported a return that was less than their original investment. Losses occurred in only 45 percent of the deals where investors did above-average due diligence. Syndicate or Co-Invest With Experts (pattern recognition) Build a Portfolio (10 or more) – Look at a lot of deals before you invest Participation or Adding Value – After an angel makes an investment, his or her participation in the venture – through mentoring, coaching, and financial monitoring – is significantly related to that venture’s returns, according to the study. Be Careful With Follow-On Investing – Deals where the angel investor made follow-on investments generated significantly lower returns. In ventures where follow-on investments were made, nearly 70 percent of the exits occurred at a loss. http://www.kauffman.org/research-and-policy/returns-of-angels-investors-in groups.aspx#sthash.TObynS6L.dpuf http://www.kauffman.org/research-and-policy/returns-of-angels-investors-in
