Founders need to communicate the challenges they face, investors need to stay in continual contact and in many cases provide much needed support and guidance, and both sides need to foster a healthy relationship of open communication.

Although there is some overlap, the qualities and habits of a successful investor are not always synonymous with the virtues that make a great angel investor. Both study the market and dive deep into the backgrounds of companies, both are ideally weighing exit strategies and creating long-term plans for their portfolios, and both navigate that tricky valley of risk vs. reward. Nevertheless, there are some traits that stand out as inherent to successful angel investors.
