I've always felt that they behave like VCs i.e. want a lot of control (hence the 50%) but only want to invest money like an angel. The weird thing is that given the amount of money they invest and the number of deals they do, they possibly can't have the time to run any of those early stage companies.

I've never seen a startup accept funding from them, its either an inventor who gets access to a particular store or a mom & pop shop.
