Why I Take Angel Funding over VCs

Am I misinterpreting the data when it says Avg. Angel income of $90K and Avg. net worth of $750K since that would make the "Avg." angel in their list a non-accredited investor and hence not an angel from who you should raise money since you will lose your Reg-D exemptions. The min requirement for an Accredited investor is a minimum annual income of $200K (or $300K with spouse if married) and/or a net worth of $1million not including your primary household.<p>Link: <a href="http://www.sec.gov/answers/accred.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.sec.gov/answers/accred.htm</a> Link2: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accredited_investor" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accredited_investor</a>

The whole point of showing colored circles with numbers in them like this is to convey a sense of relative scale.<p>But none of these appear to be to scale. So they're completely misleading.<p>May Tufte have mercy on your soul.

This is a nice infographic, but it doesn't explain why they prefer Angel Funding. It's just throwing statistics out there without explaining them.

That is a needless and horrible infographic.
