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

I invested in Messy.

This is like how that ecosystem kind of works to support one another.

They are a mix of corporate women, women in real estate, women who have gotten generational wealth trickled down.

It really runs the gamut.

Startup lawyers, you name it.

But there is no right or wrong to who is an angel investor.

And I think, again, my co-founder is a perfect example of this.

I consider myself a well-known angel investor, a pretty prolific angel investor.

And so I get a ton of deal flow.

Angel invests quite often.

My co-founder was an exited founder.

She'd gone through an IPO with a company that she was part of very early, had a great windfall, super strategic on the product and engineering side, and was like, I get nothing.

And then was able to get on the platform.

Now she's 10 investments in.

And she's really, really been able to figure out her thesis, what makes her valuable to a company, and also deploy capital.

So I think it's like getting out of your head of like, what does an angel investor need to look like?

And really thinking about how do I diversify and use this new category as a way to build financial and social capital?

I think the biggest mistake I would say early on in angel investing is over-indexing too much into one investment.

So I think people oftentimes think they have to invest like $50,000 to $100,000.
