Chris - I'm new to the VC world - to begin, what is the ROI and other features an angel is looking for before investing?

The beauty with Angel Investing is that that most Angels do deals for very different reasons. The more structured Angel investors will look for returns that fit the risk level they are taking and the total amount of expected capital that will be required to go into the Company. Not far from what a VC would look for. 2x for little risk, 5x for high risk, 10x for really high risk and early early stage.
