In this YouTube monologue, Abdul Golden explains how he mitigates the inherent risk of angel investing. He emphasizes that risk is unavoidable but can be managed through a two‑pronged approach: (1) a detailed, systematic research process that evaluates founders, companies, and ideas on a consistent checklist for every deal, and (2) broad diversification by allocating capital across many startups spanning different industries and technologies. By combining disciplined due‑diligence with portfolio diversification, he argues investors can lower their overall risk exposure while preserving the upside potential of high‑growth ventures.
