Week 8 Reading Reflection

1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations? 
I thought it was really interesting that they chose to discuss the importance of evaluating venture capitalists for a proper selection. It was interesting to see them noting the levels of the Factors in Venture Capitalists’ Evaluation Process.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
I was confused on the whole business angels portion of the reading. I wasn’t too sure why there were both advantages and disadvantages to it. There seems to be more advantage than disadvantages.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
Why did there seem to be more advantages than disadvantages of the business angels? The percentages of Frequently Rated Essential in New-Ventures are based off of what?
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?

I disagree on some of the ratios, such as the typical deal sizes and the expected return percentages. I would like to know where those ratios came from.
