Are you ready to be an angel investor?

Seven honest questions. Answer yes or no — there is no scoring trick, just a candid checkpoint before you write your first check.

  1. Could you lose every dollar of any single investment without it affecting your lifestyle?

  2. Do you have at least 7–10 years before you might need this money back?

  3. Do you have at least US$50,000 in truly disposable capital you could allocate to illiquid, high-risk assets?

  4. Are you prepared to make 15–30+ small investments over several years, rather than one or two large ones?

  5. Do you have domain expertise, an operating background, or a network that could genuinely help a founder, beyond capital?

  6. Are you comfortable having little control or influence after you invest?

  7. Can you realistically set aside time each month for deal sourcing and due diligence, not just writing checks?

Frequently asked questions

Is this a scientific assessment?
No — it is a simple, honest checkpoint based on the fundamentals experienced angels consistently cite (risk capital, time horizon, portfolio thinking, diligence capacity), not a scored psychometric test.
What if I answer "no" to the money-related questions?
That is the single most important signal here. Angel investing should only involve money you can genuinely afford to lose entirely — if that is not true for you right now, it is worth waiting rather than adjusting the assessment to get a different result.
