"This is the first book that captures the essence of what an angel investor is and the underlying motivations that make angel investors tick…. Not only is The Angel Investor's Handbook invaluable for individuals wishing to become angels, but it is a must for any entrepreneur. I wish this book had appeared about six years ago when I became a full-time professional angel. It would have prevented me from investing in several disasters and saved me several hundred of thousands of dollars."
