In this video clip, Joe Landon, chairman of Space Angels Network, explains what you should look for when evaluating an investment opportunity. First, you should look at the company’s team and their experience in the industry. The team should be able to adapt to changing circumstances. Second, look for companies that have the potential to be very big wins. That’s the only way to offset the risk of investing in an early-stage company.
I look for a big transformational market, a company that has the potential to be really big.”
