"Many young startup entrepreneurs tend to look at Angel Investors as a group of people with more money than sense (which sometimes is true) but generally not. They give no thought to the motivations of their Angels, what their Angels should get from the relationship, or simply why the Angel should be interested in investing.

Feld sat down with Vator.tv correspondent Reena Jadhav of Ivy Brain to talk about what first-time entrepreneurs should keep in mind when trying to raise funds. One piece of advice from Feld is to "surround yourself with people who've done it before." And, when talking to VCs, remember not to be arrogant but to be real about what "you don't know.""
