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.

Informative and Great on Audible
Really enjoyed the book and narration. Would have given it five stars all round if only it was longer. Appreciated the extra content at the end though. First audio book I've listened to twice in a row! Well done @jason

Wonderful book for founders too!
This is the first audio book I've listened to that I started over again as soon as it finished. Real, practical and actionable advise for early stage investors and founders alike.
Listen with a pen and paper handy, I guarantee you'll be taking notes.

This book has taken me out of the echo chamber and exposed me to the world of angel investing!
Jason, thank you for taking me on a journey of understanding angel investing. Before this read I felt like I was in an echo chamber.
The insight into angel investing has now given me the confidence and tools to elevate me to another level.
The book as well as the ecosystem you have created with ThisWeekInStartups podcast and your LAUNCH Festival has been invaluable for my journey and I feel the Startup and Angel investing community in general.
Looking forward to the journey ahead.
