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

And three was like, I wanted to be in with this group of women that were building these cool companies for create and cultivate like on a biz dev side.

So obviously getting women to speak and saying you're investing in companies gets you in the door and build social capital as well as financial capital.

So the way I viewed it was $10,000 that hopefully would make me money and if not was a good investment in the relationship I was building.

Yeah, so for me, it's very founder specific.

Having been a founder that's exited companies and built companies, like it really is so much about the founders, resilience, relentlessness, like ability to get shit done, connections, unfair advantages.

Like those are really like,

the bulk of what I look for.

The second is the idea and concept.

Is it something... I mean, if it's a product, do I like the product?

Do I think it's disruptive enough to get people on board?

Are the margins really good on this business?

Is the business model healthy?

And usually when you're looking at direct-to-consumer, it's very easy to be like, okay, what are the margins?

What are the...

Potential buyers, like all those things, like what is the potential outcome here?

And three is like, can I be helpful?

Like, do I provide some sort of unfair advantage to this business to be someone that they should be really, you know, that would be beneficial on the cap table as well.

I also think it does matter who else is in on the deals, like who else is writing checks.

Like I do kind of signal that I often co-invest alongside other people that I trust.

But yeah, I would say those are like the three things I really look for.
