As we wrap up 2024, we're excited to share AngelStat's journey from launch to becoming a valuable resource for the angel investment community.

In 2019, I began my journey of learning about early-stage investing as a way to enable the next generation of startups. I began investing with a thesis of learning only – investing in early stage companies with great traction, solid business models, capable founding teams, and the right timing.

What they are, how are they formed, and should you invest? Party rounds have gained significant traction in startup funding over the past decade. As an angel investor, understanding this funding mechanism is crucial for navigating modern investment landscapes and making informed decisions.

The world of angel investing brings together high risk and high reward, drawing in investors who are willing to delve into the startup ecosystem. With the allure of uncovering a unicorn startup comes the pressure to craft a clear investment thesis that can guide investment decisions, and ultimately, lead to robust portfolio returns.

Angel investing is a critical form of early-stage financing that powers the growth of startups at a stage when they may be too nascent for venture capitalists or banks to consider. Due diligence serves as the foundation for making informed investment decisions, allowing angel investors to meticulously assess the viability, potential risks, and opportunities of a startup before committing their capital.

In the realm of private company financing, understanding the nuances between common stock and preferred stock is crucial for both entrepreneurs and investors.
