Why Angel Investing Matters
summary
Panel argues angel rounds are the pragmatic step before VC: smaller checks (multiple panelists cite doing dozens of angel deals, one mentions 14 last year) that pair cash with hands-on mentoring and intro networks, helped a studio finish a four-year build and close a seven-figure seed, and enabled Lenderwize to back Scooty alongside debt facilities totalling over $1bn. Angels also write sizable founder-led checks that can displace VCs, but crypto pitches demand scrutiny of tokenomics risk and real gameplay utility; a clear gap still exists between €1m and €3m rounds.
