Dear Angel investor friends: I get that it can be frustrating when your startup investments don’t work out, but please refrain from sending emails to founders calling them a failure — especially when they’ve been pouring blood sweat and tears into a business for years. You’re out a small chunk of money; what do you think that founder is out? This happens to founders all the time, and it’s ridiculous. Be better.
@TinaHrabak @saltshedchicago @lollapalooza Last summer they took over just a corner of the front row now it’s the WHOLE thing. Smh
