Publisher's Summary
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

Thank you for writing a great book
If you could sum up Angel in three words, what would they be?
Thoughtful and generous.
What other book might you compare Angel to, and why?
Profit First by Mike Michalowicz, very open, honest and conversational style.
Have you listened to any of Jason Calacanis’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Yes........weekly listener of TWIST :)
Any additional comments?
Hi Jason,
Thanks for writing a great book, I listen to your podcast each week not because I am interested in angel investing or startups, I actually run a traditional service based small business with my wife in Adelaide, Australia. I listen because I gain valuable lessons and ideas from your honest and candid insights into your own business experiences and how these now shape your views.
I appreciate your ability to admit and discuss past mistakes and how you have corrected and moved on. Thanks again.....Kind Regards, Andrew

A must read for startup investors
This is absolutely a must read for anyone thinking about, or currently, investing in the startup companies that change the world.
If the world's investors allocated up to 5% of their portfolio to startups, most of the world's biggest problems would be solved.
The only thing I don't agree with is that it happens in silicon valley. We need investors across the globe building the startup ecosystem in their own back yard, like Australia, so there are decacorns and unicorns here too.
