Super-angels are helping to reorganize early-stage investing with disciplined capital, uniform investing rules and a sense of community that venture capital hasn’t had for a long time.
And super-angels can now finance later rounds, in direct competition with venture capital funds. Their successes are already well-documented.
Super-angel Ken Lerer invested about $3 million of his own money for a stake in the Huffington Post that now is valued at more than $60 million. The Huffington Post was bought by AOL last month for more than $300 million.
