Why bryce is a really leaving Angel List

It always cracks me up to see Calacanis accuse someone else of <i>grandstanding</i>... That's classic.<p>On the investment side, I think it's interesting how some of the older notions of control and influence by investors in a startup are changing. Surely this is one of the best times in recent memory to start a tech company.

... Proving, once again, that despite his successes, Calacanis has a fundamental lack of professionalism and respect.

I can never really figure out if I think Calacanis is awesome or if I think he's terrible, and for that I think he's pretty awesome.

<i>Good luck finding deals off of Angel List, because those deals will be in companies run by very stupid entrepreneurs. If you’re an entrepreneur you’re going to embrace Angel List because that’s where the passionate, low-return driven money is.</i><p>Are you saying that if a startup would rather take money from someone like OATV then they are stupid entrepreneurs?<p><i>Good luck playing with your ball in that backyard with mommy. The rest of us are going to Naval’s playground.</i><p>Am I correct to think that Naval does an initial screen of applicants before sending them on to members of the list? If so, aren't you trusting Naval's selection bias / pattern matching? What if you don't want that as an investor?

This is why I like to read Calacanis and Ferris, it's a lot like reading the editorial section of the paper. (What's a newspaper?) You may love 'em or hate 'em but at least you know where you stand.

i see myself how investors think by patterns. so @bryce's right, we would be happy to meet an investor that don't ask the same questions answers on which we just can learn.<p>and, how investors consider themselves sortof saviors, ones in the millions, which is bad for the deal as well. so @jason is right too.<p>now, peace!
