David S. Rose
Chairman, New York Angels
New York, New York
What kinds of businesses does your angel group invest in?
We invest primarily in technology-related deals, so new media and Web 2.0.
We look for things that are very scalable. We will look at business services, some health-care products, or services that usually have a tech component, and some financial services.
Given the turmoil in the markets and the economic downturn, what specifics are you looking for now?
We are seeing a race to quality. I have to assume there is no money after me. So I need to look at companies that will be able to get to self sufficiency on my investment.
