**Lena:** Hey Miles, I've been thinking about something that completely flipped my understanding of angel investing. You know how everyone assumes you need to be some Silicon Valley millionaire to get started?
**Miles:** Oh, absolutely! That's probably the biggest myth out there. What changed your perspective?
**Lena:** Well, I discovered that there are actually angel investors making meaningful portfolios with just $1,000 checks. Elizabeth Yin from Hustle Fund says there are tons of angels in Silicon Valley investing at that level, not the $25,000 minimums everyone talks about.
**Miles:** That's fascinating! It really democratizes the whole space. I mean, $1,000 across 10-15 companies can create a real diversified portfolio. But here's what I find even more interesting - most people think angel investing is either impossibly exclusive or dangerously easy, when the reality sits right in the middle.
**Lena:** Exactly! You don't need to be a venture capitalist, but you also can't just throw money at startups and expect good outcomes. There's actually a systematic approach that works. So let's dive into what it really takes to become a successful angel investor, starting with the foundational requirements you need to meet.
