" summary

Panel compares funding that raises $1–5M via Kickstarter-style pre-sales for consumer products—fast exposure but big delivery and timeline risk—with capital that adds domain expertise and reserved follow‑on funding. AngelList syndicates and AngelList syndicates/SPVs let lead angels bundle other investors, getting paid for created value rather than a blind 2%/20% fund. Government programs (Skolkovo) report ~300 projects funded from ~$300M of a $2B program. Case example: scale‑hungry startups like Waze rely on institutional strategic capital and operator relationships to win.
