&gt; The difference between an angel and a VC is that angels are amateurs and VCs are pros. VCs invest other people’s money and angels invest their own on their own terms. Although some angels are quite rigorous and act very much like the pros, for the most part they are much more like hobbyists.<p>That&#x27;s a pretty broad statement I would take issue with calling angels as a group, amateurs and hobbyists.  Especially since some well know VC&#x27;s also do angle investing.
