Who are the best “quiet” angels and VCs?

6 pointsby fivedogitalmost 10 years ago
Seems like, nowadays, part of angel investing (and entrepreneurship, too, I guess) is aggressive and obsessive tweeting, blogging, newslettering and general self promotion.<p>As an introvert, I resent the idea that it&#x27;s now essentially a requirement of The Game.<p>Is it?<p>If not, who are some of the best &quot;quiet&quot; angels and VCs?

naval is pretty quiet about his investments, but he&#x27;s done very well (he blogs and tweets and such but doesn&#x27;t really hype his investments)<p>ray tonsing of caffeinated capital, too
