Is it rude to think about how to leave someone the first time you meet him? Perhaps. But in the risky world of angel investing, top angels think about the exit the first time they meet the entrepreneur.
Angels want to know that the CEO of the business they are investing in understands which companies could acquire them and why. They want to know the role they and other investors like venture capitalists (VCs), will play in an exit. Starting the relationship on common ground decreases the chance of an exit derailing later.
