At September's Angel Investing 101, Cara Turano of the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network covered the fundamentals: what angel investing is, who qualifies, and how risk and return actually work. Part 2 goes further, into the judgment that separates good angel investors from lucky ones. John Williams leads a conversation on what makes a good early-stage investment, covering the team, the market, the terms and the warning signs. You'll learn how to support the entrepreneurs you back without getting in their way, and how to develop an investing thesis of your own, so you know which deals to pursue and which to pass on. We'll also cover how to take part in Angel Oregon's next round. For people who came to part 1, and anyone who knows the basics and wants the next step.
