John Dimmer

great speaker who knows a lot about the money. He's from local, used to work at pugetsound bank and ended up running his own business. John spent great amount of his time explaining what Angel Investment is. It was very informative.

Angel Investors are most likely a retired business man/woman who has great interest for new born companies. Angels looking forward to get 10x of their investments after certain amount of time, so being smart money player is very important to keep your company in your hand.

In order to protect and keep the company under your control, there must be your own money invested into the company. If you believe the company will be successful, then keep most of the company to yours.

There were couple great quotes from John that challenged and inspired me. One was "Don't underestimate the others." Everyone can be better than you, allowing yourselves to be opened to suggestions and ideas always benefit you in the long run. Don't be like "oh, I am better than you at this and that," rather be "oh your better at this, would you teach me?" This attitude opens up various doors for you to succeed.
