That is the point. You need an execution plan as an investor as

From what you have been talking about, you are an angel investor, and a very small one. Only very early-stage start-ups need angels. If such a start-up is really hot, they might get some angels' money, not for the sake of the money, but networking. If both you and Ron Conway wants to give them 25K, which they really don't need, they might take Conway's for the benefits of many intangibles you don't have. So for you, you need to focus on early start-ups before they are spotted by the big sharks, if you really want to put your feet into the door. That is execution plan. So stop talking about your visions in the past. Thousands of people have the visions in the valley.
