World Finance Investor Nomenclature and the Venture Spiral The press loves the term Super Angels. They use it at almost every opportunity they get and sometimes even when they don’t have the right opportunity for it. In my view the terminology being used for early stage investors by the press and the media is not as clear as it should be. I’ve talked about this on several occasions when I’ve been at conference and on panels, but I figured it would make sense to do a post explaining my taxonomy of the early-stage investing world. Friends and Family: Or sometimes referred to as the 3Fs for Friends, Family and Fools. Incubators and Accelerators: Incubators and accelerators have to a large extent replaced the funding from friends and family. The incubators invest usually for an equity stake and buy equity at a extremely low valuation (for example, 7% for $15,000, which implies a pre-money valuation of less than $200,000). Angels: Angels are individual investors, who are investing their own capital and doing so on a part-time basis.
Le Blog d'Olivier Berruyer sur les crises actuelles MoneySense The Business Finance- Finance and Economy Site South Africa’s biggest source of financial, business and economic information MBS Dashboard - Pricing, Charts and Commentary There's not a lot of "updating" or commentary to be done when bond markets are behaving as expected. With that in mind, markets continue to trade as expected following this morning's initial move. Also to be expected is a general lack of big moves the day before NFP. Essentially, our best chance for a big move would have been a crazy ECB Announcement this morning, followed by crazy strong economic data, subsequently causing snowball selling in Treasuries and major spillover into MBS. Without that "stuff" in play, there's not much left to do apart from simply meandering noncommittally back into the previous range and waiting for NFP. On a positive note, the mild, but consistent strength has finally delivered the reprices that became possible with this morning's initial gains.
