Back to Basics: Angel Investing 101

"A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers." - Plato

Happy Memorial Weekend! 🇺🇸

If you have read the last newsletter where I talked about how I bombed my first many paychecks before I went back to the basics, you’ll know that I take education very seriously especially in investing.

Thus, having learned this painful lesson, I am delighted to let you know that our venture capital partners are presenting to our group on Angel Investing 101 as well as about the overall venture capital landscape!

Big thanks to both SignalFire and Monta Vista Capital!

Market View and Fun Facts 🔍

This week, I discovered the following:

• In the Prudential survey, 42% percent of workers currently working remotely said if their employer didn’t make the option permanent, they’d find one that did. Source

• At the same time, employees who stay in companies for more than 2 years get paid 50% less based on a 2014 survey. Source

• Just over a quarter of workers plan to look for a role with a different employer once the threat of the pandemic dissipates, according to a March survey of 2,000 workers by insurer Prudential. Source

• This is at a time where the job openings are record high. Source
