Investors too often think venture investing is about picking the best deal. In reality it starts with rejecting the deals that do not quite have what it takes. Concentrating on what is left. Doing all of the necessary due diligence and follow-up. And managing the investment to success.

I will admit I am a member of Angel’s Anonymous. We created iSelect for people like me to improve venture investing. What's your take?

Question Title

Question Title

* 3. How much have you invested in deals that went bad?

Question Title

* 4. Given hindsight, how many of those deals would you not have done, knowing what you know now?
