Don't collect celebrity investors. It's not a predictor of success. In fact, it may be a predictor of failure, because it's a sign that founders (a) lack confidence and (b) prefer fundraising to building stuff.

By "celebrity investors" do you mean "investors who are famous in the startup world" (e.g. Ron Conway), or "celebrities who dabble in investing" (e.g. random movie stars)? I'm assuming #2 but it's not entirely clear.
They can be either. It's the collecting that defines the pattern, not the reason the investors are famous.
