WRALTechWire and ExitEvent{[/a}} are partnering to bring more startup news to our readers across both websites. Today, ExitEvent and WRALTechWire contributor Ann Johnston takes an in-depth look at the state of angel capital investing in the Triangle.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – “It’s all relative.”
This is one of my favorite phrases. It can bring a succinct wisdom in a host of situations. For example:
“Drinking that much Diet Mountain Dew can’t be good for you.” …. “Maybe. But it’s all relative.”
“Given the effects of recent events on global dynamics, do you think the U.S. can play a successful role negotiating peace talks in the Middle East?” …. “Well. I think it’s all relative.”
Nice, right?
I find it most useful, though, when used to actually analyze something. So when I started to write about Triangle angel investing, I approached it from a perspective of relativity.
The obvious transition here is to compare the Triangle’s angel activity to that of, say, Silicon Valley. I’ll get to that later.
But first, I want to compare our region with itself. Angel Craig Stone (pictured above, on bottom) and I recently sat down and talked about how Triangle angel activity has changed substantially in a pretty short period of time.
