If you are merely into money you should do hedge funds or bonds or something - not startup investments.
All the best investors I know are more like founders than investors: Fred Wilson, Mike Moritz, Pmarca, Ben Horowitz, Keith Rabois. What do I mean by like founders? Informal, pragmatic, genuinely interested in products and not just in money.

No you should do what youre passionate about otherwise you wont make money. Hedge fund guys that make money make it cos theyre good and love it, not cos they went in for the money only (one incentive amongst others)

I couldn't agree more! It's one thing to just "talk" product, and entirely another to have built one, even if 10 years ago.

Is informality a quality of great founders in your experience?
-
Yes. Informality is so important that it really deserves as word of its own, i.e. a word that's not just in-<what it's not>. One day I'll write about this.
