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)

What's the negative signal sent to the team? That s/he is not fully focused on work? In that case, can a founder have any hobbies outside work w/o sending that signal? Or you think it sends a signal that a founder doesn't believe fully in equity value of his or her own company?

Both. In absence of product/market fit, smart people will choose to work for the founders they perceive as being more focused, working harder and whose hobbies aren't mentioned in Techcrunch.
