HATTIE: Fred Hoar and Hans Severins are in Silicon's Valley famous Band of Angels. They believe that the OPM angel supply is oxygen to entrepreneurship.

FRED HOAR: What's an angel? An angel is a person who will invest with his own money, makes his own decisions.

HATTIE: Why didn't you just do the conservative thing, buy IBM, General Motors?

FRED: But that isn't any fun Hattie.

HATTIE: It's boring.

FRED: It's boring.

HANS SEVERINS: People can come to us who might not be getting hearing or fair evaluation in their eyes from the venture community.

HATTIE: All right, so tell me how to prepare to come to you. Do I need a cool name like, Pretty Good Privacy. I mean that's a company you just invested in recently. Pretty Good Privacy.

HANS: Either you need a cool idea -- it would be nice if you have a discernibly cool management. It would be great if you had a measurably cool business plan with a reasonable prospect of becoming a leader in a growth market.
