About this listen
One of Silicon Valley's most successful angel investors shares his rules for investing in start-ups.
There are two ways to make money in start-ups: create something valuable - or invest in the people that are creating valuable things.
Over the past 25 years, Jason Calacanis has made a fortune investing in creators, spotting and helping build and fund a number of successful technology start-ups - investments that have earned him tens of millions of dollars. Now, in this enlightening guide that is sure to become the bible for 21st century investors, Calacanis takes potential angels step by step through his proven method of creating massive wealth: start-ups.
As Calacanis makes clear, you can get rich - even if you came from humble beginnings (his dad was a bartender, his mom a nurse), didn't go to the right schools, and weren't a top student. The trick is learning how angel investors think. Calacanis takes you inside the minds of these successful moneymen, helping you understand how they prioritize and make the decisions that have resulted in phenomenal profits. He guides you step by step through the process, revealing how leading investors evaluate new ventures, calculating the risks and rewards, and explains how the best start-ups leverage relationships with angel investors for the best results.
Whether you're an aspiring investor or a budding entrepreneur, Angel will inspire and educate you on all the ins of outs. Buckle up for a wild ride into the world of angel investing!
This audiobook edition of Angel includes exclusive bonus one-on-one interviews with Jason Calacanis and professional angel investors. Featured are Founders Fund partner Cyan Banister, multiple start-up investor Gil Penchina, founding partner at XG Ventures Andrea Zurek, and serial entrepreneur and start-up mentor Ed Roman.

Amazing!
What an excellent book. As an early stage founder, this was one of THE best pieces of candid and considered advice from the other side of the table that I could’ve asked for.
Thankyou Jason!

Perfect Audible for Investors, Scouts and Founders
Loved Angel. It has so many quick note/ key learning points that are succinctly delivered, but also with some great anecdotes/ candour/ humour along the way. I think it works great for Audible with the short sharp chapters. A large part of my job is to scout startups for partnering/ co-build opts with a Corporate. I think the book has great tips equally valuable for Founders and Angels.....Cheers

Brilliant book on how to get into investing
This book is an excellent guide to getting into angel investing from someone who’s been there and got the t shirt. It’s written in a totally honest and clear way, no jargon, no pretence, just the stuff you need to know. What I liked most about the book is the fact that Jason really does offer a viable blueprint to those wanting to get into angel investing, offering practical tips as well as telling the stories of his own experience.
Jason has a very down to earth style that is refreshing to hear in a business book, making it very approachable. I would highly highly recommend.

Great audiobook but the extras are hacked together
I found this very engaging and informative. I will listen to it again. however it was disappointing that the extras at the end seemed hacked together. Jason makes the same intro repeatedly. And the book just ends almost mid flow! ?

Great read for both angels and founders. Jasons' style might be a little unusual, but angel investing is an unusual profession.
