The angel investor gets lectured by the entrepreneur and nothing happens. entrepreneurs need to be humble enough to realize nobody care about what they think. its only there customer that counts. That's all investors care about also. that's the only thing that matters. if you rub a BUSINESS TO SHOW THE WORLD HOW SMART You are its guaranteed to fail.
