I'm relatively new to angel investing, but I've made 5 investments over the past 24 months. Those investments have ranged from $25k- $250k, and have included internet businesses, software, organic foods, and telco/mobile software. For my day job, I am a Vice President of Business Development for Software at IBM. I lead the M&A for our data/information related products and led the acquisition of Netezza, Initiate, and Guardium in the last 2 year. Prior to that, I ran IBM's semiconductor business in Asia (living in Japan). Prior to that, I was a Partner in IBM Global Business Services. My role at IBM is unrelated to my angel investing (ie I will not angel invest in deals that are in the enterprise software space). That being said, I have a decent bit of large scale investing experience based on my role at IBM. I am a private investor.

Secured Lending Hedge Fund that looks for the following in transactions: Preservation of capital and downside protection is the overriding theme - Collateral’s value is not correlated to successful and timely repayment of the loan. - Collateral’s value is not based on the successful execution of a business plan. - We look at non-conventional assets such as mining and energy assets, receivables, purchase orders, securities and more. - Deal size between $5-40mm. - Maximum note duration 36 months - We look for yield on the note of mid-high teens’, sometimes we ask for an additional equity kicker - We fund domestic transactions within 4-5 weeks - Our funds are in house so no need to raise the money from outsiders - We typically keep the loans until repayment so the borrower will be dealing with the same managers throughout the entire process - We typically fund entire deals and prefer not to syndicate - We do not want to be involved in the day to day operations of the business
