@naval - Naval Ravikant- On the Growing Importance of Angel Investors - #DD10 @capitalfactory

Naval Ravikant spoke this morning at the Capital Factory's Demo Day on the growing importance of Angel investors and (my interpretation) the semi-disruption of the traditional venture capital model.

Naval's AngelList is a no frills approach to accessing deal flow with Angels, is a compelling approach, especially for the types of companies that are presenting today at Demo Day.

Visit the site not only to pitch Naval's cluster of Angel investors, but to gain words of wisdom on running and operating a lean startup.
