Angel Investing
These days, I only solo angel invest, I used to invest with a group of friends (3A). When I invest, I like to help founders directly, whether it be helping on product management (or writing the very first PRD), biz ops, or just someone one can talk with.
Below are all the direct investments I have made myself and with 3A Capital.
Note: The listed co-investors are not the full list for each company.
