The VC/PE Interviews Blog

largest study on the financial returns of Angel investors in North America, released in a new report at Nov the 12, by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and the Angel Capital Education Foundation, shows that angel investors participating in organized angel groups achieved an average 27% IRR on their investments.

Overall, this set of Angel investors affiliated with Angel groups experienced exits that generated 2.6 times their invested capital in 3.5 years from investment to exit. This return compares favorably to that of other private equity investments, including those of early-stage venture capital. Seven percent of exits generated returns above 10 times their initial investment.

Hi all.

Today, August 20, 2007, I’m launching the VC/PE Interviews Blog!

The VC/PE Interviews Blog aims to present an inside look into the Venture Capital & Private Equity industry. That thru Interviews with leading private investors, VCFs & PE firms partners, investment bankers, entrepreneurs, enterprises executives and other leaders at the global technology arena. It’s a non-formal blog and my intention is to present the men and women who stand behind the suits and titles. The interviewees, many of them are my personal friends and acquaintances, talk about their business and leisure time activities; share their ideas about contemporary and future trends and tell us how they can support and be supported by the VC/PE community.

It’s all about high risk investments, smart decisions, cutting edge technologies, capital raising, leadership and courage. You are welcome to register and become an active participant!
