Making Second Check Decisions is Tougher Than Initial Check Ones, and More Important
Description

An angel’s decision to make a follow-on investment in a portfolio company should be easier than writing the initial check – right?  After all, there is more data, more time with the management team, and more execution to interpret.  Hear from experienced angel investor and past ACA Chair John Huston of Ohio TechAngels Funds why follow-on round participation decisions may actually be more difficult than the original investment decision.  John will discuss unconscious biases, ego, and other factors that affected the multiple checks he’s written to his 60+ portfolio companies, plus will provide a vetting template to help mitigate these risks.
