Three "Must-Haves" I Look for When Investing at the Earliest Stage

One of the most frequent things our David Weisburd gets asked is about how to invest into startups at the earliest stage.

This is because early stage investing offers the highest potential return on capital of any stage of investing.

All things being equal, investing in a seed-stage company at a $5 million valuation can produce a return 20X larger than investing in the very same company once it's worth $100 million (Note: dilution can decrease the former return by 20-25%).

That being said, investing in startups at a very early stage has a very high level of difficulty.

So how do you go about picking the best early stage startups?

The short answer is that you can never know which early stage startup will bring you the highest return, but there are certain signals that can help you increase your chances of success.

Here are the three signals David relies on the most when making the decision to invest...

You Can Profit from Groupon’s Desperate Big Move

Groupon Inc. made a huge splash when it debuted back in November 2008. Its timing was right on the money: It was a big, new money-saving "get coupons on the Internet" idea that hit consumers just as the worst effects of the 2008 crash were beginning to set in.

The very first deal it offered was a pizza twofer at the Motel Bar, a restaurant downstairs from the Groupon offices in Chicago.

When GRPN stock went public in November 2011 at $28 a share, it was – no kidding – the biggest Internet IPO since Google. It ended its first trading day worth a little more than $16 billion.

The stock went ballistic for a few months, up to an intraday high of around $622. The good times, as we know, didn't really last all that long.

Last week, I was talking about shopping with my wife, and she said, "Hey, remember Groupon?"

That's kind of the problem. And today, I'm going to show you how to make some money on GRPN's downtrend… Full Story
