thank you for putting this together! I find it most interesting that becoming an angel investor is the most common outcome for founders with successful exits. Is it because they didn't like being founders, and don't want to start another company? Or is it because they want to be the angel investor they never had? Or something else?
Regardless, I think it's awesome that they're investing capital and knowledge into future founders
I agree that successful exits give you wind on fundraising side, although it doesn’t guarantee any success. At the end it comes down to how well founders know their market, how fast can they build sellable/buyable product.
