Started with some FundersClub funds that try to hit 10 to 20 YC companies at once (Wefunder used to do same but has discontinued). Hand picked a few companies. Followed some great syndicates on angel.co

Jason Calacanis' new book ANGEL advice to early angels actually very closely matches what I started doing in 2013.

On paper gains I'm up, but need a few big exits to actually declare success. Can start judging in 2020, since avg exits are in the 7 to 10 yr timeframe.
