Cal Simmons, Angel Investor

I focus on early-stage investments primarily in the Washington, DC, Metro area. The range of investment varies with the opportunity and stage of the company. My goal is an accelerated exit for both investors and entrepreneurs. I take a portfolio approach to investing, trying to evenly divide my interests between the following: 1. Venture returns of 3-5 times in 3-5 years. 2. More mature businesses with cash flow predictability. 3. Swing for the fences. Companies that show potential for 10x returns. Investments include ReelGenie, a video marketing platform, and PointsHound, a travel rewards booking service.
