Whatever their backgrounds and reasons for investing, all angels need to be sceptical and have their eyes open as angel investing can be dangerous. Angel investing is full of stress and disappointment as well as having high points. Only a sense of humour can keep you sane as you ride this roller coaster.

So you must find it fun or you should not do it. The high points are not just making a lot of money from an investment, nice as that is, but they include the satisfaction of helping others to succeed in their plans.

In the final analysis if you cannot feel comfortable with most of the list of attributes described above, angel investing may not be a wise choice for you. There are, though, other approaches you might consider if you wish to invest in small unquoted companies without the same level of risk and involvement. These are discussed later in the chapter.
