The document discusses the differences in perspectives between entrepreneurs and angel investors regarding company valuations, markets, competition and exits. Entrepreneurs are typically optimistic and see only success, while angel investors are more pessimistic and cautious, focusing on potential problems and risks.

Most investors ask startups to send a pitch deck over before a meeting, a lot of them pass and say no on the strength of that pitch deck.
We do things a little bit differently and we've actually made a pitch deck to sell ourselves to startups. We're Founder first and we see ourselves as privileged to be buying some equity in your company.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
