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.

I've got both the book and the audio book and think this is truly a masterclass.. for Angels this is no doubt invaluable.. for founders (like me), pure gold.
Good to put myself in an angels shoes.

I think someone who wants skin in the game and wants to learn without the risk of losing it all.. this is the book for you. Get it.. read it.. listen to it.

Being an Aussie I love the tone.. very matter a fact and straight to the point. No bull.

PS: One of these days I'm going to pitch you Jason.. good to know your playbook :) See you in SF

Loved it. Thank you Jason... from a founder

I try to get through at least 1 if not two audiobooks a week and this is one of, if not the most valuable book I have read this year. If you are a serious entrepreneur needing to raise capital. BUY the Book. If you are serious about Angel investing or Venture Capital Investing. Buy the book!!

Ignore 1,2 or 3 star reviews - They obviously have beef with the author because the content is on point. Will guarantee you won't regret the purchase.
