Friends That Invest · Investing Tips from a Successful Angel Investor | Jaclyn Johnson · 27 Apr 2026 podcast

By creating a platform that is consumer-friendly from the design perspective, it looks and feels like a Squarespace, something they're used to seeing.

It gamifies the experiences and creates it from a personalized perspective.

So if you want to invest specifically in CPG or AI or women-owned or whatever, we feed you the best deals that meet that criteria and give you a fit score of if this is a good company that fits your thesis.

And then you can just engage with the founder.

You can look at their data room.

You can get all the information.

You can get an intro, do a Zoom call, do a deal.

And really what was exciting about that was when we launched it, over $8 million was deployed to these different companies in six months.

But what was more interesting was that 40% of that $8 million were first-time accredited angels writing checks, meaning we're getting angels off the sidelines and into the angel investing sphere, which was really exciting for us.

Yeah, so I think it's really important to think about your angel investments as your own little mini fund.

even if you're just doing $10,000 a year in angel investments, but what are you investing in?

What are the categories you're passionate about?

So that could be healthcare, CPG, beauty, AI, tech, whatever.

So this is a personal decision that you're like, this is the category I want to invest in.

The second thing of that is like, what is the stage I want to invest in?

Do I want to invest super early or do I want to invest later stage, which is obviously going to be a little bit more of a safer bet.

For me personally, I tend to invest sub a $20 million valuation.

Anything above $20 million, I know I'm not going to get the return I want.

So I really try to be in that sweet spot between $5 million and $20 million, usually from that perspective.

What's your check size?
