      Being an early stage startup founder and an active angel investor sends a negative signal to your team. Reinforces a class divide and perception of not being all in (yes it’s rational to diversify but irrational belief is what people follow and what stops them starting their own)

      Depends on what your definition of active is. I’ve made investments in friends and talented founders I’ve met along the way, all while focused on my business. If anything its made me a stronger founder — you learn from others as much as they learn from you.

      I was a founder, then active and successful angel investor before going back to being a founder. There's very minimal, if any, learning that makes you a better founder. Even if there were more, any unit of learning will be outweighed by the negative signal it sends to team.

          Guess it’s dependent on your mindset and investment focus etc. Again I appreciate your perspective but I see it and am living a different truth.

          I’ve gotten and given a ton of value from founders I’ve invested in like organic intros to talent and investors and transferring learning from their context to my own. It’s turned into a support system. I’m not apart of the YC community so you might have a blind spot here.

          Curious - would you consider scout programs from VC funds a net negative for the founder participating ?

          Hard to make expected value calculations in startup world. Overall, I believe VC's get more value from the scout programs than founders.

          What about the access to context on how others are executing, the potential for them to be customers, potential to hire top performers if the companies are not working out? All that is minimal? Should a founder not invest in public equities either to avoid negative signaling?

          Every hour you spend on “not your product” and “not your startup” is ultra under-leveraged compared to actually doing those things. Talk to users, get customers, recruit, hire and manage your team. Signalling is a real thing, but it’s minor compared to actual impact— time spent

          I don't agree on this one. I was an active angel investor between my first and second startup, and it definitely helped me be a better founder second time around.

          Firstly, it gave me a much better understanding of how investors think and how to negotiate with them.
