Very Helpful Mentors
I have really appreciated all the help and input we have received from Sajjad Musad who has been of great help to continually mentor and advise our company. He seems to represent this group very well, and he has introduced us to many of his colleagues at Harvard Angels. On multiple occasions he has made key introductions and participated in extremely helpful strategic decision making sessions and marketing meetings centered around customer acquisition strategies. I have worked closely with him and his colleagues for nearly six months and would definitely vouch for the character and entrepreneur insight they bring to the table. Our team is looking forward to continuing our advisory relationship with Sajjad and the Harvard Angels.

Good Experience with This Group
Excellent group of smart and entrepreneur-friendly investors. Members like Sajjad Masud have been helpful, asked questions that led to improved performance, and have been generous with funding, advice and time. Harvard Angels have been valuable members of our team. I highly recommend working with this group.

Stupid Joker
If Sajjad Masud is an example of the best of these morons -- then these guys are to be avoided. Sajjad is a total waste time, unemployed, small headed, small minded, idiot. He is looking for a job, but is too lazy to actually get one. HAS NO MONEY, has not invested or will invest in anything.

Threading a Needle
Diverse group with elements of a "social club". The initial screening process is efficient; if your pitch is chosen you present for 30 minutes to a group of 30-50 members. Then they pass around a sheet to gauge interest, and one member takes the lead for follow-up and due dilligence. The problem is that it is unlikely anyone has expertise in your market; these are just smart people with some extra cash. So due dilligence can be exhausting, and the yield very small - perhaps $100-250K. This could be a fine fit for the right small deal, but many will be better off investing their precious time elsewhere.
