Breck Yunits, Angel Investor

I invest in highly technical founders who like to build things with their hands, care about customer service, and love open source. I invest in teams great at software across all industries. I don't care if/where you went to school or worked, but I do care about your git profiles or YouTube videos personal homepage, or other portfolio. I have made angel investments in ~50-100 companies. My check size is usually $10,000, but sometimes less and sometimes more. I usually invest in seed rounds, but sometimes later like a Series A. I usually invest as an individual, but sometimes through a shell company. I love being the first check. My research commitments mean I don't have time to be the lead investor. I like to invest in companies in accelerators. Accelerators streamline logistics. I'm happy to trade a worse valuation for time savings. I invest mostly in "hard tech" startups but sometimes invest in other things. I do a lot of things for the founders I invest in, from technical strategy to recruiting to marketing to writing code to designing DSLs to code reviews. I avoid companies that believe in patents or copyrights.
