How Many Angels is the Right Number
I got the following question via email today: All things being equal and all things being perfect, is it better to have more or less 'angels' in the mix? I can come up with reasons for both more and less. Also, it seems to me that more and less are very relative - but, in this case, Ohio has a limit of 25 investors before exemptions no longer apply (we're still investigating that one), so that is the absolute upper limit. I'm thinking "more" is in the range of 4 - 10 and "less" is in the range of 3 or fewer -- allowing more growth later, if needed.

Who Are Angel Investors
Entrepreneurs often talk about needing angel investor money to launch their companies. When asked about their financing plan, they are heard to say, "I am going to raise $500K from angels." When asked what their strategy for approaching angels is and who they are going to approach, they often go silent and have a blank look on their faces.

Who are your team members?
Teams, as we may like to think, are not a creation of the 20th century. Teams have been around since the beginning of time, especially spiritual teams. There have always been Gods and Goddesses, Angels and Archangles that have worked with people in supporting them in their life's purpose. All throughout history and historical books, papers and even the Bible, we can find references to messages being delivered from above using many different terms and names. Today, however, it is becoming more and more popular and acceptable to communicate with Angels, spirits, etc. and consciously adding them to our own teams. MasterMind groups is a great example of this. My hope is that this article will lead you to feel inspired to add to or even create you very own spiritual team. It really is quite simple and very effective.

Early Stage Startup Finance: What You Need Is Dumb Money
Many startups seeking angel capital aren't actually far enough along from a development perspective to be attractive to early stage investors. In essence, there is an entrepreneurial myth that angels invest in concepts or ideas. This is rarely the case- angels typically want to see some level of progress being made with the business before getting seriously interested. So what does a cash-strapped entrepreneur do to get off the ground? They raise what is called a "friends and family" round. This article discusses the attributes of this type of seed stage investing, and provides some tips for putting together a viable deal.

Angels Are All Around Us
Angels are all around us. I've written about many of them but there are so many more angels out there who use the digital world to help the less fortunate; giving of themselves, their time and their energy to make the world a better place. What a contrast they bring to the self-centered wolves.
Can Guardian Angels Teach Us Anything?
Disclaimer: Believing in guardian angels is by no means a prerequisite to learn about what the whole idea or notion of them can teach us. I have often written and referenced what I call the dimensions of self (intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual). I have stated that we give greater attention to our intellectual and physical self much more than to our emotional and spiritual self. In fact, the world we live in encourages it. Yet, we should know that all four dimensions of self are of equal importance, and they should all receive, as much as possible, the same weight or amount of attention. This month I would like to focus on the emotional and spiritual dimensions, and yes, I will use guardian angels to help make my point. Let me start by telling you a story.
