I look for super passionate teams doing something they really believe in, where I also think I can help. Occasionally I'm able to make a big impact as an advisor, especially in a difficult moment when the founders may forget why they started their company in the first place. Some of my own startups have done well, but I have learned much more from the founders I'm helping now as an angel.
