We've touched on angel investing several times on the podcast, so it was time we got a business angel on. Kirsten Connell is an unusual angel, in that she has a background in venture capital, but, like many angels, has strong experience in one area, which in her case is cybersecurity.We talk about how she got into angel investing and what her approach is. We talk about sourcing deals and diversification, particularly balancing her sector expertise against a desire to broaden her exposure. We also discuss what is the right diligence to do and who you can trust while doing it. She also gives some tips for those who want to start angel investing.LinkedIn profile - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirstenconnell/Twitter - @kirstSuggested books:Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion and Purpose by Tony HsiehBad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou
