I'm a founder, podcaster, former journalist and prolific angel. I've backed 50 startups and one of them turned into a unicorn (uber). A bunch of others are doing well, so I started an angel fund called the LAUNCH Fund. The Launch Fund closed at $10m and is going to invest in 100 startups over the next three years. We will try and find another couple of Uber's and have a lot of fun founding awesome startups.
If a founder allows us, we will syndicate their deal here on AngelList.
Angel investing is really hard, but I love doing it. I love founders and innovation, and I think with a lot of hard work and consistency we will have a solid return.
However, angel investing should never be more than 1% of your total portfolio/networth... so please act responsibly and only back at a level that you can afford to loose--because we are going to be swinging for the fences with my syndicate!
I will share all deals I do, provided the founders of the deals allow me to!

It was great working with Matt. He does his homework and asks the right question. He is always there to help out in any way he can. He is a decisive investor...more and doesn't waste your time. Very prompt to respond with the paper work. I would highly recommend him.Ajay Yadav
