Nuggets from AngelConf

AngelConf, an event to share the secrets of angel investing to green investors, was held today out in Mountain View at Y Combinators offices. While I wasn't able to watch the live stream, I did follow some of the tweets coming across about the speakers and advice that was being shared. Here are a few of my favorites.
Jim Young: "even in downturn, there is still more $$$ than deals that deserve it" #AngelConf (via @davemcclure) "The best angel investors aren't in it to make money..." @TechCrunch (via @garrytan) greg mcadoo @ sequoia - what separates entrepreneurs is their unique view of the market. They see what's coming years in advance (via @evbart) another tip for Angels from @naval: don't take board seats; waste of both angel & startup time (via @davemcclure) From Paul Graham at #AngelConf: "Good angel investors are decisive." - They give a clear YES or NO very quickly. (via @JonMarkwell)
Of course there is a lot more chatter happening, view it here. Also, keep an eye on the AngelConf site as they may be posting a recording of the event later.

Bradley, thanks for the good, succinct summary of the tweet stream. The link to this post was ranked third in the Entrepreneurs swarm on Swattr when I found it.
