Yes and yes.

smart

how profitable was it/were they?

Yes. My external investments haven’t been profitable yet. Rule of thumb is one in ten startup investments will pay off, so diversify. And hope that one makes at least 10x to get even. I invested in around 5 business that were not my own, one is just launching now, so I have more work to do.

I angel bc I love mentoring startup companies. Once I exit my current business I will likely do more of it.

My next target is in the crypto space, but I look at all sorts of opportunities. I also make micro investments with Kiva.com as a hobby. It’s fulfilling to help small biz owners.
