That can't be right. The Angel Bootcamp told me companies need Angels and there is a shortage. They said I'd even get their course at a discount as long as I gave half my profits to them for the first 2 years after I graduate.

What angels really need is a website which pre-clears the wheat and separates it from the chaff with quizzes about The Lean Startup and 0-1 because a basic literacy in the modern canon is fundamental to success.

I went to a YC angel investing workshop in March 2018. The lectures are all on YouTube. My takeaway was to try to independently consider deals, and not worry about herd mentality. Of course, there was a lot of material, ranging from YC partners, external angels, and VCs. There was conflicting information and advice about the decisionmaking process -- which is good, I think: the process is different for everyone.

So they teach you how to be one of those lousy angels who shoot angles all the time?
