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)

A lot of assumptions in your statement. It’s a small amount I’m allotted that amount to maybe 2-3 investments a year. It’s a scout fund set up specifically for active startup CEOs to support those founders they come across or are already mentoring.

Also I wouldn’t be opposed to employees investing on the side it would of course be context dependent in terms of time investment etc. I don’t see things as binary here especially when there is a ton of wealth with early employees that are working early stage.
