They key behind being an angel investor is that you have some “extra” money in your pocket and could afford the risk.

Honestly, I am not in a position to make that kind of investments. But I wish you all the best for your endeavours. I hope to see you as a shareholder of a unicorn some day. 😉

Appreciate the comment. Angel Investments are indeed not the best "starting point" when it comes to investing.

Impressive! My spare cash has gone into paying off the mortgage so far, the London housing market being what it is…

[@FirmLearning]

Sounds like a good investment as well :)

I am in my 20s and I may have the required money but I don't know from where to start so can you guide regarding how or from where to start?

Hey Heinrich, thanks for the insights! Please, make a video describing/explaing how studying philosophy (maybe German philosophy specifically Friedrich Nietzsche, Arthur Schopenhauer, etc.) as an undergraduate degree honed your mindset and approach to business, problem solving, and life in general. That would be an awesome video and firm learning, thanks!

Can you be an angel investor without putting any money in? Especially if you bring experience or expertise in the sector the startup is trying to operate in?

[@FirmLearning]

Real shares without paying for it is rather unusual. Sometimes you can see angels being rewarded with "VESOP" contracts (similar to what some employees receive) for their support, this might be quite lucrative as well.
