The Burden of Being Right - An Insider's Guide to Angel Investing

A hardcover guide to angel investing, written by someone who has actually written the cheques.

Nicolaj Højer has founded 8 companies and backed 16 Danish startups, including Soundboks and Zetland. This book is what he learned doing it — not the theory, but the calls that were hard to make and the ones he got wrong.

Inside the book

• How deals actually reach you, and why the best ones rarely arrive by email
• Reading founders instead of reading decks
• Term sheets in plain language
• How to size a first cheque you can afford to lose
• The psychology of saying no — and why it's harder than saying yes
• What a portfolio really returns, and how long it takes

Written for founders, operators and professionals considering their first investment, and for anyone already investing who wants a sharper read on their own decisions.
