Embrace risk and volatility from "summary" of Angel by Jason Calacanis
Being an angel investor is not for the faint of heart. It requires a willingness to embrace risk and volatility in order to reap potential rewards. This means being comfortable with the fact that not every investment will pan out as expected. In fact, the majority of them won't. However, it's important to remember that angel investing is not about playing it safe. It's about taking calculated risks and being prepared for the ups and downs that come with investing in early-stage startups. This is where the true potential for significant returns lies. Volatility is a natural part of the startup world. Companies can experience rapid growth one moment, only to face setbacks the next. As an angel investor, it's crucial to understand this dynamic and be prepared to weather the storm. This means having a long-term perspective and not getting discouraged by short-term fluctuations. In order to succeed as an angel investor, one must be able to navigate uncertainty with confidence. This requires a certain level of comfort with ambiguity and a willingness to adapt to changing circumstances. It's about being agile and flexible in your approach, while also staying true to your investment thesis.- Embracing risk and volatility as an angel investor is about having the courage to step outside of your comfort zone and pursue opportunities that others may shy away from. It's about being willing to take chances on unknown founders and unproven business models. And it's about having the resilience to persevere in the face of adversity.
