I was fiddling with the numbers using a calculator when I was writing the article - I knew I should have done up a spreadsheet. I'll correct things by adjusting the acquisition price. Good catch.

In both scenarios the Angel put in $200K; scenario 1 he exited at $1,250,000 which is a 6x return (not 10x); in scenario 2 he exited at $555,556 which is a 2.5x return(not 5x). I guess that this only goes to show how hard it is for an Angel to get a 10x return ! Hi Craig – well explained but the calculation isn’t quite right.
