These Angel Investing Opportunities Could Outperform the Market in 2021
If 2020 holds any lessons for us – and I think it does – surely the power of preparedness is right up there.
This past year was remarkable in many ways, but what stood out to me most in 2020 was the rapid adoption of tech in business. In short, the coronavirus pandemic forced most companies to adapt to remote work. Those that couldn't suffered; brick-and-mortar business was one of COVID-19's biggest casualties.
In this environment, three industries quickly emerged as frontrunners, and my experience tells me they'll build on and even exceed that performance in the year ahead of us; I'll be watching these like a hawk in 2021, because I expect to see substantial growth and, even better, outsized returns for folks with the wisdom to get in on the ground floor… Full Story

Why Startup Investors Are Going to Look Mighty Smart in 2020
One of the benefits of being a startup investor is that you normally don't have to worry about the Fed's every move.
That's because the startup sector is more resilient and usually not correlated with the stock market.
Now thanks to the Fed, if you're in startups and angel investing, you're being handed a huge opportunity.
And if you're not, this is the perfect time to get started…
Here's When You Should Buy Snowflake Stock
The Snowflake IPO date is finally here.
The stock will begin trading on the NYSE Sept.
16.
It's been one of the most talked-about public offerings of 2020.
The company hopes to raise more than $2.7 billion in its IPO.
And it just lifted its IPO price from the $75 to $85 range to $100 to $110.
Valued at $23 billion, Snowflake is a one-of-a-kind cloud platform.
The company has 100,000 active users and counting.
Some of the biggest names in the world – Sony, Capital One, 2k Games, to name a few – use its services.
Still, many investors are unsettled about whether to buy on the IPO date, wait and see what happens, or avoid it altogether.
Is the DoorDash IPO Worth Investing In?
A 31% drop on the S&P 500 gave many businesses a dim outlook in March.
The IPO market slowed down tremendously as a result.
What didn’t slow down, however, was online delivery.
An unprecedented amount of online orders were being placed during lockdowns.
Amazon had to hire 75,000 more workers to meet new demand.
As part of this trend, people were also eating out far less (if at all).
And companies like DoorDash came to the rescue.
That’s why this company hasn’t had the same hiccup as the rest of the IPO market since it announced a potential IPO in February.
Now, a DoorDash IPO is imminent as the company maintains its goal of going public before the end of Q4.
Is the Bumble IPO Worth Investing In?
While the coronavirus completely changed our way of life this year, something that didn't go out of style, was online dating.
Young adults have had to go months without a night life this year.
As result, they've taken to dating digitally.
That's why it was no surprise when we heard of a Bumble IPO underway.
It joins a flood of other tech IPO announcements this fall, including Snowflake, Sumo Logic, Unity, Asana, JFrog and Palantir.
You see, Bumble has been one of the winners of this post-pandemic economy...
Is GoodRx Stock a Buy After the IPO?
Most of the IPO market struggled in early 2020 after the coronavirus hit.
IPO activity fell by 48%, and proceeds form IPOs fell by 67% in April-March.
Most business leaders did not trust the volatile public markets.
However, as you would expect, healthcare IPOs were a special case.
Probably due to the health scare, investors saw more opportunities in the healthcare market than anywhere else.
But is GoodRx stock a buy after the IPO?
Is JFrog Stock a Buy After the IPO?
The coronavirus hurt the 2020 IPO market for a few months.
There was a 48% drop in IPO activity, a 67% decrease in IPO proceeds for April-March.
This led IPO investors to try other investment vehicles, like SPACs for a potential future price pop.
But tech IPOs are making a comeback this fall.
And there are few more interesting than Israeli software company JFrog.
