👼 Lenny’s lesson from 140+ angel investments

Lenny Rachitsky writes about his biggest surprises and lessons from his angel investing over the past five years ago. The TLDR is:

1. He’s usually wrong about which investments will do best
2. Most deal flow comes from other investors—not founders, friends, or colleagues
3. Great deals are currency among investors
4. Angel investing is more about access than picking
5. It’s mostly about becoming someone founders want on their cap table

You can find the full post here.
