This is real.

I have a buddy who has been an entrepeneur all his life. He renamed his first company to Name-Dot-Com just before the Dot-Com Crash; a short jump in investment followed by a period where he couldn't get his calls returned, and he was forced to sell.

So my point is: "angel investors" in startups seem to be a really "ADHD", shiny-distraction-oriented bunch. And that has a huge impact for smaller companies.
