Bloomberg has a very interesting piece on 'Google Angels' up this weekend. The term is used to describe Google alumni who are re-investing wealth from stock gains into the latest and greatest start-ups, usually in the tech space. Though their investments are often high-risk in nature, the expertise that these specialized angel investors have in the tech sector has ensured some very strong results. Some of the bigger success stories include early investments in Twitter and Tapulous.
While seeing a Georgetown Law grad listed among the success stories hits a little too close to home, it is nice to see these new captains of industry re-investing in America's future and not just shiny new toys. Except, of course, for the Lamborghini guy. Nevertheless an interesting read, and, as always, comments and feedback are appreciated.
