Start-ups and Angel Investing

I act as an angel investor and advisor in early-stage technology companies
(me on Angel List) . I am always on the look-out for new investing and entrepreneurial opportunities. I am looking for companies where I can understand the business and that have a solid combination of team, technology, and business. I am also active in E-Fund which is a fund based on cooperating angel investors.

When I first left MDA where I had worked for many years, I collected a lot of info on the Vancouver Tech Start-up Community. I organized this and put it on-line in the hopes that it would be useful to others. Check it out at: Hitchhiker’s Guide to Vancouver Tech
If you’re interested in what makes a great start-up community, check out Brad Feld’s book Startup Communities. This Tim O’Reilly quote could be used as a summary of the book’s most important point: “Create more value than you capture.”
