Interestingly the "angel investor" who came into the life of the Sober Husband's current start-up DID impose a new CEO on everyone, which has been extremely traumatic for the founder (the CEO and the founder get into pissing matches on a regular basis, and I have characterized the CEO's behavior as bullying). <BR/><BR/>I think they did take the term from the theatre world, where it's been in use for aeons to mean an individual who bails out a play, but it bugs me because angels in the theatre world are motivated to a large extent by love of the arts, while "angel investors" are motivated by self-interest. <BR/><BR/>I feel for you starting a business, M.

(then again, at least I don't have some business major telling me what I can and can't do with my company!)<BR/><BR/>as with most of life, there's really no one winning strategy - you just have to figure it out as you go along.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233135823508192911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-69020010721375735502007-06-05T21:19:00.000-07:002007-06-05T21:19:00.000-07:00Much more entertaining to hear your read on this a...Much more entertaining to hear your read on this article, than the usual recap on the WSJ I get from my parents...<BR/><BR/>I really love that phrase 2amsomewhere quotes as well, "ghosts of departed quantities." <BR/>TexzmissyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-53269501622083115722007-06-05T20:38:00.000-07:002007-06-05T20:38:00.000-07:00Probably absolutely nothing, as the spiders would ...Probably absolutely nothing, as the spiders would probably just sweep the main page, alas.the Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-67449033234737000202007-06-05T20:19:00.000-07:002007-06-05T20:19:00.000-07:00What's really funny is that a serious financial we...<I>What's really funny is that a serious financial website put up a link to this post in a section on "What Bloggers Are Saying" about venture capital.
