I like Mike Zimmerman's idea of tax breaks for legit angel investments. And unlike VCs, angels are large in number, distributed & flexible. They're also aggregating around (established and emerging) angel groups in Sydney, Adelaide & SEQ that I know of. Which ought to make administration easier (if thousands of natural therapy practitioners can be accredited and a rebate system attached to their services, surely tax breaks to angel investors can).
A little incentive for angels could end up making a big difference at the other end in more deals being done, where more startups & emerging co's can leverage the angels' money, connections, experience and skills. And not just in Sydney and Melbourne. Andrew.
